Murtis
The term murti is derived from the Sanskrit word 'murta', meaning embodiment. A murti is therefore more than a physical representation of God or a meditational aid. It is an embodiment of the Deity. An enlightened guru enacts special Vedic rituals whereby each part of the image is ceremoniously infused with the presence of the Deity. If the sanctum is the heart of the Mandir, the murtis are its very soul.
Prayer Space
