Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A symbolic tableau: the syllable Oṃ above a lotus; four Vedas personified as venerable sages receiving worship, while Gāyatrī appears as a radiant goddess holding a rosary and water-pot.
Oṃ and Gāyatrī summarize Vedic spirituality—honouring them is presented as honouring the whole Vedic revelation.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where this mantra-centered worship is prescribed as especially meritorious.
Worship the Vedas (Ṛgveda etc.) through the Praṇava, and uphold Gāyatrī as the central mantra of the rite.
