Preparation

• Clean body and wear simple, clean clothes (preferably white). Use muhpatti if that’s your practice.
• Do pachchakkhan (a small resolve) to maintain inner purity during puja.

Chaityavandan (the main avashyak sequence at the temple) Sit steadily (padmasan/ardha‑padmasan/straight), keep a calm mind.
