Syrie 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Hello to all, I am new to Hinduism and am now learning how to do pujas. I know that overall it is worshipping God and giving him offerings, but I'm not sure why you bathe the murties in milk, what the sindoor represents, why you ring the bells, light the deepak, use insence, rotate the plate, and so on. Could someone explain this so I have a better understanding? Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
