Vishnu & Vaishnava — Vedic Puja Vidhi
Vishnu Puja
Vishnu Puja is a sacred Vaishnava ritual performed to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu — the preserver and protector of the universe. Devotees offer tulsi leaves, yellow flowers, panchamrit, and chant the Vishnu Sahasranama (thousand names of Vishnu). The puja is especially performed on Ekadashi, Purnima, and during Chaturmas (the four sacred months). It is considered the most complete form of worship for prosperity, protection, and moksha.
