Prepare yourself and the space

Wash your hands, straighten the mandir and take a moment to settle your breathing. The aim is to arrive with attention, even when you only have a few minutes.

Light, offer and remember

Light a diya or incense safely. Offer clean water, a flower or a small portion of fruit according to your tradition. These simple acts turn attention toward gratitude.

Keep in mind

  • Begin with a short prayer.
  • Chant a familiar mantra slowly.
  • Sit quietly for one minute before finishing.

Close with gratitude

Conclude the puja with a prayer for clarity and the wellbeing of others. Extinguish any flame safely before leaving the space and share edible prasad respectfully.
