Narada (teaching ritual/yantra construction in a technical-vidhi context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It teaches that worship (pūjā) is to be performed within a properly constructed sacred diagram, where geometric layers (hexagon, triangles, lotus, and bhūpura) create an ordered ritual space for invoking and concentrating the deity’s presence.
Bhakti here is expressed as disciplined upāsanā: devotion is not only emotion but also careful ritual attention—preparing the yantra and then worshipping within it as an act of reverent focus.
It highlights technical ritual procedure (kalpa-style vidhi) and mandala/yantra construction—practical know-how for drawing prescribed forms (ṣaṭkoṇa, trikoṇas, aṣṭadala padma, bhūpura) as part of worship.
