Puja


The priest is explaining to me in Hindi what to do. Sachi is sitting to my right and is translating what to do.

During puja an image or other symbol of the god serves as a means of gaining access to the divine. This icon is not the deity itself; rather, it is believed to be filled with the deity's cosmic energy. It is a focal point for honoring and communicating with the god.
