Our Deity worship ceremonies are performed strictly according to the laws and principles of the ancient Hindu Vedic religion.

The worship itself is performed in accordance with traditional Vedic Puja - an offering of different items like incense, flowers, and water.

It is performed by one devotee (a Pujari) while the other participants are chanting mantras and spiritual ancient songs, and is usually followed by Japa and meditation.
