I am familiar with witnessing the abhiSeka ceremony for the Deity in which pure substances such as water, milk, yogurt, etc. are poured over the entire body of the Deity.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Monier Williams gives the meaning of pAdya as water used to wash the feet. In pujas thre is a stage which says "PAADAYOH PAADYAM SAMARPAYAAMI" meaning I offer pAdyam at the feet.
