Puja rituals

Puja rituals are religious ceremonies commonly practiced in Hinduism, Buddhism, and some forms of Jainism. These rituals involve offerings to deities, which may include fruits, flowers, incense, and lighted lamps. Participants typically chant mantras or prayers to invoke blessings, express gratitude, and seek guidance. Puja can be performed in temples or at home and varies in complexity from simple daily offerings to elaborate festivals. The essence of puja lies in devotion and connection with the divine, facilitating spiritual reflection and community participation.
