Puja items are central to Indian festivals, bringing families together to honour traditions. Each item—like a diya (oil lamp) or incense—holds a special meaning.

Beginner's Guide to Puja

Performing a puja can seem overwhelming if you are new to the practice, but it’s simpler than you think, especially with the right tools and guidance. Here’s a detailed beginner’s guide to performing a traditional Indian puja tailored to your needs in Europe.

Basic Puja Setup

To begin with puja setup in Europe, you only need a few key items:

• Puja Thali: This is the central plate that holds most essential items. You can use a brass or steel thali for traditional aesthetics.
• Diyas (Oil Lamps): Diyas symbolise the removal of darkness and the presence of divine light. Choose clay or brass diyas, both available on Dookan.
• Agarbatti (Incense Sticks): These are used to purify the atmosphere. Select natural, eco-friendly incense from Dookan’s wide collection.
• Kumkum and Haldi (Turmeric): These sacred powders apply tilak, marking your devotion to the deity.
• Fresh Flowers and Fruits: These offerings symbolise purity and are placed on the altar.

Set up these items on a clean surface, preferably in a quiet area of your home. Arrange the items in an organized manner—flowers and fruits on one side, diyas and incense on the other.

Steps to Perform a Simple Puja

• Prepare the Space: Clean the area where you’ll perform the puja. Place your deity’s idol or image on the altar.
• Light the Diya: Light the diya using a cotton wick and oil (such as mustard or ghee), representing divine light in your home.
• Offer Incense and Flowers: Light the incense sticks and gently wave them before the deity. Then, place fresh flowers as an offering.
• Chant Mantras or Prayers: Depending on the occasion, you can chant simple mantras like “Om” or specific prayers to the deity.
• Conclude with Aarti: Light the diya and perform an aarti, a circular motion with the flame, in front of the deity while singing a devotional song.

Considerations for European Homes

Space might be limited in your home, but even a small corner can be transformed into a sacred space. Keep your puja simple and use compact items that fit neatly on your altar. Dookan’s curated selection is perfect for these settings.
