What is Venkateswara Puja?
Venkateswara Puja is the worship of Lord Venkateswara, also known as Srinivasa and Balaji, the form of Lord Vishnu who resides on the Tirumala hills. For many Telugu, Tamil and Kannada families he is the kula devata, and a home puja in his name marks weddings, housewarmings, birthdays and the fulfilment of vows.
The vidhi usually includes Ganesh Pujan, invocation of the Lord, abhishekam where the family wishes, alankaram, archana with his names such as the Venkateswara Ashtottaram or Sahasranamam, and naivedya followed by harati. Many families also keep a vow to visit Tirumala and begin it with a puja at home.
In Hyderabad, devotion to Balaji is visible everywhere, from the Birla Mandir on Naubat Pahad to the Chilkur Balaji temple. We arrange Pandits who follow the Vaishnava vidhi your family is used to.
Significance
Tradition holds that Lord Vishnu came to the Venkata hill in the Kali Yuga to be close to his devotees, and that he married Padmavati there. He is honoured as the Lord who answers the prayers of those who surrender to him.
Saturdays and the month of Purattasi (Bhadrapada and Ashwin) are especially associated with him, and many families fast or offer special naivedya on these days.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
