Varalakshmi Vratham for families in Bolarum

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.

Bolarum lies in the north of the Secunderabad Cantonment, near Alwal and Tirumalagiri. It is one of the greenest parts of the city, with wide roads, old colonial era buildings and the Rashtrapati Nilayam, the President's southern retreat.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

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
