In Hinduism, for example, festivals like Diwali, Durga Puja, Navratri, and Ganesh Chaturthi are celebrated with elaborate pujas where devotees worship specific deities, offer prayers, and seek blessings for prosperity, health, and happiness. These pujas often involve intricate rituals, chanting of hymns, and offerings of flowers, fruits, sweets, and incense.
The puja typically involves chanting of Vedic mantras, offering prayers to specific deities associated with peace and tranquility (such as Lord Shiva, Goddess Saraswati, or Lord Vishnu), and performing rituals with offerings like flowers, incense, fruits, and sweets. The rituals may vary depending on regional customs and the specific purpose of the puja.
"God puja" is a general term that refers to the worship or ritualistic honoring of deities in Hinduism, though it can extend to other religious traditions as well. In Hinduism, the term "puja" refers to a ritualistic worship performed to show reverence to one or more deities, seeking their blessings and divine grace.
Pitru Puja is typically performed during the Pitru Paksha, a 16-day lunar period in the Hindu calendar dedicated to ancestral worship. This period usually falls in the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapada (September–October).
