The rituals honoring the deity are precise and in principle unalterable, constituting a logic of relationship between the person conducting the puja and the deity.
The puja conducted in public is called aarati – a term that refers to the circling of the lighted wicks in front of the deity, a token of the devotion being offered, but is commonly taken to mean the public portion of the priests attendance on him with offerings of other items as well.
