Puja & Rituals in a Saivaite Temple

Our South Indian Temples have various interesting and meaningful rituals and pujas as part of worship. For example, during the Veedhi Ula or Procession, as a contrast to the usual custom – where the devotee visits the temple to have a darshan of the Lord, the Lord leaves the Temple in order to visit his devotees and personally oversee their welfare.

Here are a few video clips of the Puja & Procession in a Saivaite Temple. I was personally captivated by the beautuful close-ups of the Siva Lingam. Absolutely divine. The Chanting and the singing by the priests is quite mesmerising !
