What is Pranapratistha 2
Prana Pratistha Prana means breath and pratishta means establishing Prana Pratishta ceremony is literally establishing the breath A rite or ceremony by which a deity is infused or brought to inhabit a murti or icon of that deity. A ritual of consecration in which the consciousness or power of the deity is brought into the image awakens the icon in a temple At the beginning of the ceremony we see only stone, but at the end we see God! 3
