    Overview

    Varalakshmi Vratham for families in Erragadda

    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.

    Erragadda sits on the north-west corridor of Hyderabad, with a metro station on the main road and the ESI and Chest Hospital campuses close by. Older housing colonies, market streets and a steady flow of hospital visitors give the area its everyday rhythm.

    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 Erragadda

    The main road near the metro station and the market is congested through the day; early morning is far easier for everyone.
    Colony lanes are narrow and often parked up, so give a landmark and your house or block number when you book.
    If the puja is for someone unwell, say so, and keep the setup in a quiet room away from the main hall.
    Terraces in older houses are usually the best place for a homam; check that the water tank and wiring are clear of the kund.
    Say whether you would like the mantras explained in Telugu so the family can follow along.
    Arrange the kalasham, coconut, Ammavaru face, sarees and jewellery for decoration early.
    Prepare the thoram with nine knots and the prasadam the day before.
