Origins & Context
Puja means "worship" or "devotional ritual" in Sanskrit — the daily act of offering flowers, incense, light, and prayer that forms the heart of Hindu domestic spirituality. To name a daughter Puja is to see her very existence as an act of divine worship — a gift from the gods that now returns to them in the form of this living offering. The name spans all of India's traditions and is universally recognised.
Spiritual Significance
Puja is the external form of the internal yoga of devotion (Bhakti). Through the ritual of puja, the devotee trains the mind, heart, and senses to recognise the divine in all things. A child named Puja carries this quality of sacred attention and reverent presence.
