Pooja Rules: These are the rules for performing pooja at home according to scriptures..

Through worship, we please our God. We invoke the deities. We do this worship in many ways. Sometimes we do rituals, sometimes we go to the Shiva temple and worship, or sometimes we do worship at home. But what are the rules of worship according to the scriptures, or how a householder should worship? All this is described in the scriptures.

This method and process of worship is done daily, but there are many misconceptions about whether the method by which we are worshiping is the right method or not. There are many questions about what to do and what not to do in worship, so today we are going to give you some more information on this subject so that you can understand the right method of worshiping at home. Some methods of worship have been described in the scriptures. Today, we will mention them.

Shodashopchar Puja Vidhi
Worship is done in 16 steps with the Shodashopachar method. In this, padya, arghya, aamchan, bath, clothes, undergarments, ornaments, fragrance, flowers, incense, lamp, offering, betel leaf, hymns, tarpan, and namaskar are done. Puja should never be done standing, and neither should one do puja sitting on the bare floor. Before doing puja, spread a mat on the floor and do puja sitting on the mat.

Keep these things in mind.
Prayer. The place of the idol should be higher than the floor of the house. For worship, install the deity on a stool or at a place higher than the floor.

A tilak of kumkum is considered necessary in auspicious works.

Broken pieces of rice should not be offered in worship. Rice should be clean and whole.

Water, milk, curd, ghee, etc., should not be poured with fingers. These should be taken with a pot, spoon, etc., because things become impure by the touch of nails.

Milk, curd, Panchamrit, etc., should not be poured in a copper vessel, because they become like liquor.

Before worshiping, do achamana three times. This pleases the Tridev, i.e., Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.

Touching the right ear is also considered equivalent to achamana.

Do not offer water to the deities with the front part of Kush.

Deities should never be applied sandalwood with the thumb. Never pick sandalwood directly from the tree and apply it. Always apply it by placing it on a small bowl or the left palm.
Always do Puja facing East, North, or Northeast.

One should not do Puja with the head covered. Worship without covering the head does not yield results. Both men and women should sit with their heads covered during Puja.

Sit on a clean seat before Puja. Use a red or yellow seat for Puja.

Before starting Puja, meditate on Lord Ganesha, Guru, and your Ishta.

After Puja, put two drops of water under the seat and apply it on the forehead and then get up.
