> PUJA : (3) The Panchamrut

Source: Private archive

 

A large bowl is needed, for God's "BEVERAGE" or "NECTAR". This bowl will not be marked with kumkum (as kumkum is not edible). Five small bowls are also needed; they can be metal, but care should be taken with copper as it reacts with yoghurt.

The Five elements which will constitute the Amrut are kept in the bowl:

1. Honey (good quality if possible and liquid)

2. Milk

3. Sugar

4. Yoghurt

5. Ghee or clarified butter
