Hindu worship, known as puja, is a spiritual practice where devotees honor and connect with their deities. This can take place in homes or temples, often involving offerings like flowers, fruits, and incense. Worshippers may chant mantras and sing hymns to express their devotion and seek blessings from their chosen gods or goddesses. During puja, rituals vary based on personal beliefs and regional traditions. Common elements include lighting lamps, ringing bells, and performing arati, where a lighted lamp is waved in front of the deity. This sacred practice fosters a sense of community and spirituality, allowing individuals to express gratitude and devotion.
