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 Himayatnagar

The main shopping road is very crowded in festival and wedding seasons, plan the Pandit's arrival early in the day.

Parking is limited, so keep space near your building or share an easy drop-off point.

Older apartment buildings may not have lifts large enough for a havan kund, tell us so the Pandit can bring a compact one.

Check building rules on smoke before planning a homam indoors.

For Shraddha, share the tithi or date of passing and the ancestor's name in advance.

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

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