How do we do pūjā while travelling?

keep it simple — a small picture, a short prayer or japa, or a mānasa (mental) pūjā is fully valid.

The tradition has always known that people travel. Many carry a small picture or a pocket-size deity, a mālā and a prayer book. In a hotel room, a clean corner of the table becomes the mandir for the morning: a picture, a little water, a flower if you can find one, and your prayer.

Where even that is not possible, mānasa-pūjā, worship done entirely in the mind, is honoured as one of the highest forms. You imagine bathing the deity, dressing, offering flowers, food and a lamp, all with full attention. The famous Śiva-mānasa-pūjā hymn, attributed to Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, is a beautiful guide for this.

Avoid lighting flames in trains, planes or hotels where it is unsafe or forbidden; incense and lamps are not essential. Resume your normal pūjā when you return home.
