Pooja Services
A pooja service is a ritual of worship to the Divine or to one or more deities, involving visualization, mantra recitation, and offerings. It is performed to keep in harmony with cosmic
forces, to receive blessings, to accumulate merit, and to overcome sorrows and obstacles. It can also honor or celebrate a special guest or event. Pooja services can be held either at home or in temples.
Classes
Dance is a type of art that involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It can be performed as a work of art, a cultural ritual, a social recreation, a health and wellness activity, or an expression of the person. Dance can be choreographed or improvised. It can have both
aesthetic and symbolic value to the audience.
