CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The work treats two representative Hindu rituals of contemporary India, Puja (offering service) and Samskara (initiation rituals on important occasions of life). Samskara rites are performed at significant junctures of an individual's life, from birth to death, by the individuals family. Puja rites, rather than being performed in relation to the life cycle of an individual in a family, are more deeply related to the annual rituals of the cult to which an individual or the person's family belongs. Persons may go to a temple and request preists to perform Puja rites, or they may perform these themselves at home.
