Overview

Venkateswara Puja for families in Rathyatra

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.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Tell us your language and tradition so we can match the Pandit.
Keep tulasi, flowers, fruits and naivedyam ready, or ask for samagri.
