What is Pranapratistha

Prana Pratistha
Prana means breath and pratishta means establishing Prana Pratishta ceremony is literally establishing the breath A rite or ceremony by which a deity is infused or brought to inhabit a murti or icon of that deity. A ritual of consecration in which the consciousness or power of the deity is brought into the image awakens the icon in a temple At the beginning of the ceremony we see only stone, but at the end we see God!

How it is Done
Ceremonies are religious and generally elaborate Lasts for many days and include many priests. Ceremonies include immersing the sacred image
Water,rice, flowers, bathing the sacred image in milk, yogurt, ghee sacred substances,

Many Homams for each Vigraha Many Abhishekams Veda pravachanam/ Veda Prabhandha parayanam, Maha samprokshanam, Kumbha Abhishekam
