In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsDevatārcana (देवतार्चन) refers to the “worship of the Gods (in, on and around the vimāna)”, as discussed in the third chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Description of the chapter [vimāna-devatārcana-vidhi]: Despite the title, this chapter deals with the details of the materials and utensils, procedures and motions of liturgical worship [bāhyayāga], viz., water and water-pots (14-29a, 89b); [...]. The closing ślokas (189-194) tell how to construct the mantra for any given temple and its deity, with a eulogy for those who perform worship-rituals with correctness and piety.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
