Ritual Pran Prathistha of Idols

Pran Prathistha Ritual involves an elaborate ceremony by which a murti (image of a god) is consecrated, wherein hymns and mantra are recited to invite the deity to be resident guest, and the idol's eye is opened for the first time.. The ritual is considered to infuse life into the Idol and bring to it the numinous presence of divinity and spirituality.  

The ritual typically involves a puja, chanting of Sanskrit mantras, bathing and cleansing the deity whose feet may be washed just like a revered guest arriving after a long journey, dressing and seating in a place of comfort, placing the image's face towards east (marking sunrise), followed by Nyasa with hymns (act of touching different parts of the murti signifying the presence of various gods as sensory organs – Indra as hand, Brahma as heart, Surya as eyes, and so on), spraying of scented water and flowers, with the Chaksuunmilan (Sanskrit: "chakshu unmilan", opening of the divine eye) ceremony marking the high point of the ritual. The image is then considered as consecrated.
