Remembering the deities on your auspicious day



Be it a birthday, housewarming or a wedding, it is in our culture to remember the spirits that overlooking upon us and guiding us on our path to success and enrichment. While for the Hindus, a puja is an inseparable part another important part is what you offer to the deities in the form of your Puja Thali. The tradition of offering to the gods and goddesses has been ingrained in our tradition since time immemorial and it is believed to have a good impact on the life ahead. Traditionally performing a puja is synonymous to welcoming the Gods to your event for celebration and this ensures that no evil influences remain. One would understand that this is for the eternal peace of mind thinking that “God is with us” and there could be nothing bad.



Now concerning our topic, what all that needs to be offered in the Puja Thali? Well the Pooja Samagri will invariably consist of agarbattis(incense sticks), Sindoor (vermillion), chawal (rice grains), Itra(Perfume), Kapoor (Camphor), Coconuts, Betel nuts, diyas, Janehu(sacred thread), Ganga Jal (water from the holy Ganges River), Prasad,clothes and any other ideal gift as suited to the occasion. Along goes a message that you are a believer and it is Gods responsibility to watch over theevent and bless all the concerned people.

However,with life getting all the busier, there is little time or knowledge to meet upwith all the finer details of the Puja Samagri that the Pandit(Priest) has asked for. While it will get difficult to get all the pieces together, you can as well use the benefits of modern technology to you favor.The demands of the society have resulted in internet shops that facilitatebuying decorative Pooja Thali online. As of today, one can buy allthe Puja requirements sitting in the comfort of their homes as even as when the Pandit dictates them! With a few clicks of your mouse and the whole Thali willbe delivered at your doorsteps. Obviously you do have to take the trouble of going to the market for the coconut, sweets and other items in the Prasad.

To buy Pooja Thali online, you may as well perform a Google search and youwill be surprised with the variety of stores offering the services. However,make sure of the quality and timeliness of their service. The Gods are going tobe happy!
