The service summarized ☝️ is called "samsthaana pooje": samsthaana ≈ institution; pooje ≈ service.
The general process ☝️ is typical for mathas of "maadhwa" faith.
Attending such services is wonderful experience. I'm fortunate to be able to attend frequently and mostly get good vantage. 🙇‍♂️

A most #unbelievable #Friday:
1. A scholar extraordinaire called *me* to inquire of my health. 1.5 years ago, I sat in his lectures, him not knowing I even existed. 🙇‍♂️
2. Visited friends. Another visitor there is actually my first cousin who I hadn't seen in 3 decades. 😲
3. Someone extremely important and influential called and I didn't recognize it was them. So, now I'm looking for means to convey my apologies and ask forgiveness. 😳
