[edit] Problems

This is often less of a ritual and more of a prolonged prayer. Also, the "chanting" is not always done by a priest. I don't want to directly edit this article but it needs a full rewrite.—comment added by DotShell(t/c)

[edit] Well, then what is a ritual?

The above comment seems to suggest splitting hairs. If puja is not a ritual, then I'm not sure what is. I suspect the author of that comment has some sort of subjective dislike of the term "ritual" that isn't based on its full religious AND sociological definition.—comment added by 132.235.44.112(t/c)


[edit] It is ritual

Puja is indeed ritual. I dont see how it is not.
