Pūjā, from the Sanskrit denoting worship, honour and adoration, refers to religious rituals based in the Hindu tradition.
 

This project explores facets of prayer, offerings and spiritual homage, in literal and abstract form. Pujas are pervasive and inextricable from daily life in India. They are practiced and observed on a multitude of occasions and in diverse settings. They are made in reverence to a variety of divine beings, routinely in public, outside of the confines of the home and temple. A rarity to the Western eye, the tradition has crossed cultures and been adopted by those of differing religious backgrounds.
 

Puja is an element of unification through diversity. It spans not only a massive continent, but a complex array of people.
