The most vital facet of Hindu worship is the pooja, which is made up of a selection of ritual offerings and prayers, to be executed as cited in the pooja vidhi. Pooja is a fundamental fragment of Hindu culture and during the year, we perform numerous pooja rituals to worship various Hindu Gods and Goddesses. It is one of the purest ways to unite with the inner soul, as well as connect to your deity or guru. Indians are known for worshipping several Gods as per their faith, using numerous types of pooja items, to offer prayer to their respective deities. Performing pooja using all the customary pooja items can give you a sense of peace and calm. This is considered to be the path to the spiritual and eternal contentment that humans crave. Every item in a pooja has a definite history and a specific impact. The arrangement of pooja items used in pooja vidhi is based on the level of the Panchatattvas (Five Cosmic Principles). Knowing the spiritual significance of each of these items, or samagri, boosts the bhav (spiritual emotion) towards them. Hindu pooja ceremonies demand the use of various materials. The assortment of spiritual and religious fixtures are supposed to fill the mind with clean and pure thoughts. These include basic pooja items such as religious idols, mukut, kumkum, diyas, camphor, chandan, roli, garland, pooja thali, chandan, haldi, bell, etc. Furthermore, there are quite a few additional and widely used pooja items like panchpatra, saligrama, colorful flowers, dry fruits, and akshat which are offered to God, to attain wealth and prosperity, and make your pooja propitious and complete. These are offered to the deities while chanting specific spiritual mantras. Incense sticks are among the basic and crucial pooja materials, which disperse their attractive aroma in your home and surroundings. These sticks will burn slowly with a lingering fragrance and enduring presence, which helps enhance the atmosphere where you are conducting your prayers. Pooja samagri like incense sticks enable the creation of a positive setting for the spiritual forces around us. Incense has been used to create and kindle the presence of the divine among us since times immemorial. The heavenly scent that is infused by dhoop, or incense sticks, calm the mind, ease the spirit as well as invigorates the environment. Kapur, or camphor, is another important and basic part of Hindu pooja rituals. It is a granulated crystal acquired from the foundation, branch, and leaf of the camphor tree by distillation. It evaporates directly when burned, without leaving any traces. In the same way, lighting kapur before God is considered to be a sign of burning our ego, or illusion, with the fire of knowledge, and merging with the almighty without leaving any residue. Gomati chakra and Moti Shankh are also items of the Hindu prayer items that are considered as the symbols of growth and prosperity. They repel negativity and purify the rituals with luck and prosperity. In addition to the above-mentioned items, numerous other items are used in Hindu prayer rituals, all of which are available on our website. Every pooja needs different items for successful completion, and it is best to arrange everything in advance to avoid last-minute hassles and complete your pooja. Choose from our wide array of spiritual and religious accessories, and cement your path to gain divine blessings.

A Japa mala is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa. Mantras are typically repeated hundreds or even thousands of times. The mala is used so that one can focus on the meaning or sound of the mantra rather than counting its repetitions. One repetition is usually said for each bead while turning the thumb clockwise around each bead, though some traditions or practices may call for counterclockwise motion or specific finger usage. When arriving at the head bead, one turns the mala around and then goes back in the opposing direction. There are typically knots between each bead. This makes using the mala easier as the beads will not be so tight on the string when you use them.

If more than 108 repetitions are to be done, then sometimes in Tibetan traditions grains of rice are counted out before the chanting begins and one grain is placed in a bowl for each 108 repetitions. Each time a full mala of repetitions has been completed one grain of rice is removed from the bowl. Often, practitioners add extra counters to their malas, usually in strings of ten. These may be positioned differently depending on the tradition; for example some traditions place these strings after every 10th bead. This is an alternative way to keep track of large numbers, sometimes going into the hundreds of thousands, and even millions. The 109th bead on a mala is called the sumeru, bindu, stupa, or guru bead. Counting should always begin with a bead next to the sumeru. In the Hindu, Vedic tradition, if more than one mala of repetitions is to be done, one changes directions when reaching the sumeru rather than crossing it.

There are numerous explanations why there are 108 beads, with the number 108 bearing special religious significance in a number of Hindu and Buddhist traditions.

Some Hindu traditions hold that the correct way to use a mala is with the right hand, with the thumb flicking one bead to the next, and with the mala draped over the middle finger. The index finger represents ego, the greatest impediment to self-realization, so it is considered best avoided when chanting on a mala.

In northeast India, particularly those in the Shakta traditions in West Bengal and Assam, the mala is often draped on the ring finger of the right hand, with beads moved by the middle finger with aid of the thumb and avoiding the use of the index finger. However, draping the mala over the middle finger and using the thumb to move the beads is also acceptable in these regions.

A wide variety of materials are used to make mala beads. Beads made from the seeds of the rudraksha tree are considered sacred by Saivas, devotees of Siva, while beads made from the wood of the tulsi plant are used and revered by Vaishnavas, followers of Vishnu. Other common beads include wood or seeds from the sandalwood tree or the Bodhi tree, and seeds of the Lotus plant. Some Tibetan Buddhist traditions call for the use of animal bone (most commonly yak), but sometimes human bone is used, those of past Lamas being the most valuable. Semiprecious stones such as carnelian and amethyst may be used, as well. In Hindu Tantra, as well as Buddhist Tantra (or Vajrayana), materials and colors of the beads can relate to a specific practice.
