How families in Vijayawada plan a puja
Vijayawada is built around Indrakeeladri, the hill of Goddess Kanaka Durga above the Krishna. During Dasara the Goddess is adorned in a different alankaram each day, and the Bhavani Deeksha, a period of discipline in red, ends with devotees climbing the hill for the Deeksha Viramana.
Devi worship is therefore central here, alongside Shiva worship at Amaravati, one of the five Pancharama kshetras, and the Panakala Narasimha temple at Mangalagiri, where panakam is the offering.
Worth planning for
- Dasara week is the most heavily booked period for Devi pujas.
- If a family member is on Bhavani or Ayyappa deeksha, tell the pandit, because it affects the food and arrangements at home.
Pandit traditions in Vijayawada
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
