Panchayatana Deities

This set comprises of brass idols of the five major Hindu Deities and a Shree Yantra that embodies the energies of all the Gods. Lord Shiva is seen meditating on a tiger skin; the Sun God is seated with an aura of His radiance, and Lord Vishnu, Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi are seated on a lotus. A brass Meru Shreeyantra is placed in the centre. This is the most popular combination of deities one needs to have in a traditional Hindu altar. 

Panchayatana puja is a method of worshipping the deities and was introduced by Hindu theologian Adi Shankara. Panchayatana is derived from the Sanskrit words Pancha meaning five and Aayatana which means Gods, and so in a Panchayatana puja the five deities representing the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether are worshipped. 

The set includes a brass tray and prayer malas of 27+1 beads of 8 mm in tulsi beads, sphatik beads, lotus seed beads, Rudraksha beads, red carnelian beads, and yellow agate beads and they each represents Vishnu, Shree Yantra, Lakshmi, Siva, Ganesh and Surya respectively.
