Devotional life grows through small daily practices: offering incense at the home altar, wearing tilak, chanting and reading scripture. These guides from Sree Mayapur Dham explain each practice simply, so you can bring it into your own home.

Bringing Mayapur Into Your Home

In fact, a simple altar, a little dhoop and a set of deities are enough to begin daily puja. Moreover, applying tilak each morning reminds you that the body is a temple of the Lord. For example, many devotees start with Jagannath deities and celebrate Ratha Yatra at home. To learn more about the markings themselves, read about tilaka.
