To participate respectfully in a puja, you can purchase a small offering basket, called an archana tray, from the vendors right outside the temple gates. These usually contain fresh fruit, bright flowers, and incense sticks.

Hand the offering to the priest when you approach the main shrine. Stand quietly, observe the rituals with your hands folded in respect, and accept the holy ash or blessings the priest offers you afterwards.
