Panchayatana Puja

Panchayatana Puja is a worship ritual in Hinduism that involves the veneration of five deities, typically consisting of Shiva, Vishnu, Devi (Shakti), Surya (the Sun), and Ganesh. This practice symbolizes the integration of different aspects of the divine, promoting harmony and balance. The term "Panchayatana" means "five seats," referring to the sacred space where the idols or images of these deities are placed. The ritual emphasizes devotion, respect, and the interconnectivity of various divine forms, allowing devotees to seek blessings and spiritual growth in a focused manner.
