Pujan
Pujan is singing with devotion the qualities of Jin, Guru and Shaastr in pureness of thoughts,
speech and body.
Colors of the clothing worn during pujan and other religious activities are shades of white, pink or yellow. Most commonly worn shade is Saffron. These colors represent the three pure leshyas (auspicious state of mind).
Eight dravyas (substances)
are used for performing pujan, each of which has a significant meaning.
Pujan is effective in lessening of worldly desires, pride and ignorance.
