A ritual of worship of a deity in Hinduism. Its core is a ritual of offering directly to the deity and worshipping it. It contrasts with the yajña, a ritual based on the Brahmanic tradition, which is centered on offering offerings to the deity through a sacred fire and sacrificing to the gods. Its form varies from simple daily offerings of water, food, flowers, etc. to the deity at home, to detailed rituals performed by priests at temples and festivals. The basic method is to offer offerings to the deity in the same way as to entertain guests, and it is best to follow the Vedic ritual of offering guests a drink mixed with honey (the word puja comes from the Sanskrit prīthi pṛc, which means to mix and offer this madhuparka).

ヒンドゥー教における神像礼拝の儀礼。供物を神像に直接ささげ礼拝する儀礼を中核とする。バラモン教の伝統にのっとったヤジュニャyajña,すなわち祭火に供物をささげ神々に犠牲をおくる儀礼を中心にした祭式と対照をなす。日々家庭で水,食物,花などを神像にささげる簡単なものから,寺院や祭りの場で詳細な儀軌にもとづいて祭官が執行するものまで,形式は多様である。基本は賓客のもてなしと同様の方法で神像を供養することで,蜜を混ぜた飲物マドゥパルカを賓客に供する,ベーダ時代の賓客歓待の儀礼に従うのを最善とする(〈プージャー〉の語は,このマドゥパルカを〈混ぜて供する〉を意味するサンスクリット〈プリチpṛc〉を語源としている)。
