Overview

Varalakshmi Vratham for families in Amberpet

Varalakshmi Vratham is observed on the Friday before the Shravana Purnima, and is one of the most loved vrathams in Telugu, Kannada and Tamil households, including across Hyderabad. Married women worship Goddess Varalakshmi, the form of Lakshmi who grants boons, for the wellbeing and prosperity of the family.

Amberpet is an old residential locality in eastern Hyderabad, tightly built and close to Nallakunta, Golnaka and the Musi. Independent houses, small blocks of flats and lanes barely wide enough for a car make up most of the neighbourhood.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.

O Lord with the curved trunk and mighty form, radiant as a million suns, remove the obstacles from all my undertakings, always.Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning your puja in Amberpet

The lanes are narrow and often one way in practice; share a landmark and expect the Pandit to walk the last stretch.

For Shraddha, keep the details ready in advance, the ancestor's name, gotra and tithi, and the date of passing if you have it.

Shraddha and Tarpan are performed in the morning, so book an early slot and tell the household to plan the day around it.

Terraces and inner courtyards in these older houses are the usual place for a homam or havan.

During Pitru Paksha the demand is very high across the city, so enquire several days ahead.

Arrange the kalasham, coconut, Ammavaru face, sarees and jewellery for decoration early.

Prepare the thoram with nine knots and the prasadam the day before.
