Overview

Varalakshmi Vratham for families in Ghatkesar

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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