How families in Visakhapatnam plan a puja
Two temples shape the year in Vizag. On the Simhachalam hill, the sandal paste covering Lord Varaha Narasimha is removed once a year on Akshaya Tritiya for the Chandanotsavam. In the old town, the Kanaka Mahalakshmi temple at Burujupeta is at its busiest on the Thursdays of Margasira month, when many homes also keep a Lakshmi puja.
High-rise living along Beach Road and in MVP Colony brings a practical issue: sea wind makes open-flame lamps and balcony homams harder to manage.
Worth planning for
- Choose a sheltered room for lamps in flats facing the sea.
- Margasira Thursdays fill quickly for Lakshmi pujas.
- Check with your association before any homam.
