Puja traditions around Kakinada
Kakinada has three important places within easy reach. Annavaram, on Ratnagiri hill, is where lakhs of families perform the Satyanarayana vratham each year. Pithapuram is both the Puruhutika Shakti Peetha and Pada Gaya, a traditional place for ancestor rites. Samalkot’s Kumara Bhimeswara temple is one of the five Pancharamas.
Satyanarayana vratham at home follows the Annavaram tradition in many households here.
Worth planning for
- If you have already done the vratham at Annavaram, tell your pandit, as some families repeat it at home to close a vow.
- For Pada Gaya rites, carry the family gotra and names of ancestors.
