The Ten Rites of Worship

Shodshopchar — sixteen offerings

आवाहन · आसन · पाद्य · अर्घ्य · आचमन · स्नान · वस्त्र · यज्ञोपवीत · गंध · पुष्प · धूप · दीप · नैवेद्य · ताम्बूल · नीराजन · वन्दन

Each day, the Lord is invited as a guest — given a seat, water to wash his feet, a sip of water, a bath, fresh robes, a sacred thread, sandal, flowers, incense, a lamp, food, betel, a wave of light, and a final obeisance. Sixteen upacharas, performed in order, without shortcut.

During Mangal Aarti, a single copper kalash is ritually bathed in nine ingredients — panchamrit, Narmada water, ghee, milk — and emptied over the murti. A devotee who sponsors an Abhishek Labh stands beside the pujari.
