    Overview

    Sundarkand Path for families in Ghatkesar

    Sundarkand Path is the recitation of Sundarkand, the fifth book of Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas, which describes Hanuman's leap across the ocean, his search for Sita in Lanka, his meeting with her in the Ashok Vatika and his return to Shri Rama with news of her. It is a chapter of courage, devotion and hope.

    Ghatkesar sits on the Warangal highway beyond the Outer Ring Road, where the city gives way to open land. It is best known for the engineering and degree colleges along the highway, which bring students and staff from across Telangana.

    मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।

    वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥

    Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.

    Swift as the mind and the wind, master of the senses, foremost among the wise, son of the Wind, leader of the vanaras, messenger of Sri Rama, in him I take refuge.Traditional Hanuman stuti

    Planning your puja in Ghatkesar

    Ghatkesar is a long drive from central Hyderabad; give the Pandit the full address and enough travel time.
    For Bhoomi Puja, clear the plot, mark the corners and arrange drinking water and shade at the site.
    Open plots suit a homam well, but bring a mat, a small table and a windbreak if the site is exposed.
    Highway traffic towards Warangal is heavy through the day; morning muhurthams are simpler.
    Share a live location pin, as new layouts are often not marked accurately on maps.
    A full path takes about two and a half to three hours; plan dinner or prasad for guests afterwards.
    Share how many people will join so the Pandit can bring enough copies of the path.
