Panchayatana Deities

A refined Panchayatana puja ensemble in lustrous brass featuring Shiva in meditative poise, Vishnu with Lakshmi in serene grace, Surya radiating vitality, Ganesh bestowing auspicious beginnings, and a central Meru Shree Yantra that concentrates and harmonizes the field of worship, all arranged on a decorative brass tray with dedicated malas that resonate with each deity’s tradition and quality. Emerging from the Smarta lineage clarified by Adi Shankara, this fivefold altar integrates the elemental spectrum of earth, water, fire, air, and ether into a single, balanced sadhana focal point, making it both scripturally grounded and practically adaptable for daily practice.

Placement of Panchayatana Deities:

For optimal use, place the Yantra at the heart of the tray, position the deities in symmetrical quarters, and keep the surface elevated, clean, and uncluttered to sustain pranic brightness and mental steadiness; pair offerings with gentle abhishekam, a steady flame, and fresh flowers, and let the station prompt a brief morning and evening pause for intention setting, gratitude, and quiet contemplation.

Compact yet complete, it suits home shrines and work desks alike, fortifying spiritual continuity, clarifying attention, and fostering a calm, auspicious atmosphere that supports disciplined action and harmonious living.
