مورتی (Idol) refers to a physical representation or statue of a deity, often used in various religious practices. In many cultures, particularly in Hinduism, these idols serve as focal points for worship and devotion, allowing followers to connect with the divine. They can be made from various materials, including stone, metal, and clay, and are often intricately designed to reflect the attributes of the deity they represent. The practice of worshipping idols is known as Murti Puja, where devotees offer prayers, flowers, and food to the idol. This ritual is believed to invite the presence of the deity into the idol, making it a sacred object. Idols can vary in size, from small household figures to large temple installations, and play a significant role in festivals and religious ceremonies.
