    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Sainikpuri

    Shraddha takes its name from the word for faith and sincere devotion. It is the rite through which families remember departed parents, grandparents and ancestors, offering pindas, water, sesame and food with prayers for their peace. Many families observe Shraddha every year on the tithi of a loved one’s passing and during Pitru Paksha.

    Sainikpuri is a leafy residential area in the north-east of Secunderabad, near AS Rao Nagar and Kapra. It was originally developed as a colony for defence personnel, and its wide streets, independent houses and calm atmosphere still reflect that planned beginning.

    ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

    Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.

    Planning your puja in Sainikpuri

    Independent houses and gardens are well suited for homams; keep a safe distance from dry plants.
    Some colonies have security at the entrance, share the Pandit's details in advance.
    Tell us your family's tradition and preferred language so the right Pandit is matched.
    Allow travel time for early muhurthams, as Pandits may come from other parts of Secunderabad.
