Hindu households often have altars or shrines where daily prayers, called pujas, are offered to deities. This involves lighting incense, offering flowers, and performing rituals to honor gods like Shiva, Vishnu, or the local deities.
Dashain, Tihar, and other Hindu festivals are celebrated with enthusiasm. These occasions involve rituals, ceremonies, and communal gatherings with prayers, music, dancing, and feasting.
Hindus visit temples, including important ones like the Zangto Pelri Lhakhang in Thimphu, to seek blessings and participate in religious ceremonies. These visits are central to their spiritual practice.
Offerings of fruits, sweets, and other items are made to deities during rituals. Additionally, rituals like aarti (lighting lamps), holy dips in rivers on auspicious occasions, and circumambulating temples are common.
Hindu life-cycle ceremonies, such as birth ceremonies, weddings, and funeral rites, follow traditional practices with prayers, specific rituals, and customs.
