Overview

Varalakshmi Vratham for families in Sanath Nagar

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.

Sanath Nagar is one of Hyderabad's older working neighbourhoods, grown around factories, the railway line and the colonies built for their staff. Its streets are laid out in blocks of independent houses and modest apartment buildings, many of them held by the same family for two or three generations.

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 Sanath Nagar

Courtyards and terraces in the older houses suit a homam; clear stored items from around the kund.

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

Tell us the family's regional tradition, as households here follow several different customs.

Roads towards Fateh Nagar and the Begumpet side get busy at shift and school hours; morning slots are easier.

If relatives are joining, say how many so seating and prasadam can be planned.

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

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