Special Occasions and Festivals

During special occasions and festivals, performing a pooja (worship ritual) follows a structured path. It starts by preparing the worship area with clean surroundings and placing idols or pictures of deities. Then, offerings like flowers, fruits, incense, and lamps are arranged. The pooja begins with chanting mantras and prayers, invoking divine blessings. Water, milk, and other items are offered symbolically, signifying purity and gratitude. The devotee expresses reverence through gestures like bowing or touching the feet of elders.
