Murtis are sacred images or statues in Hinduism that represent deities or divine beings. They serve as a focal point for worship and devotion, allowing devotees to connect with the divine. Murtis can be made from various materials, including stone, wood, and metal, and are often adorned with colorful decorations. In Hindu temples, murtis are typically housed in sanctuaries and are the center of rituals and ceremonies. Each murti is believed to embody the essence of the deity it represents, such as Lord Shiva, Goddess Durga, or Lord Vishnu. Devotees offer prayers, flowers, and food to these murtis as acts of reverence.
