Vijayadashami puja vidhi: a family preparation guide
Prepare for worship using your own family’s sequence rather than a universal ritual prescription. Use it to organise the space, supplies and timing. The ritual sequence, mantras and offerings depend on your tradition; follow the person guiding your household puja for those details.
