In accordance with the ancient Hindu scriptures, every Hindu deity including Goddess Durga is worshipped by a Brahman priest, who performs rituals and offers prayers. Everyone offering prayers or pushpaanjali perform the ritualistic bathing and cleansing before prayers. Some fast too. Before the commencement of flower offerings(anjali) one is handed over fresh flowers to be held in hand. After reciting the Sanskrit couplets everyone showers flowers to

Goddess Durga. Durga Puja Anjali is an integral part of the worship.

Pushpanjali:

" Ong Sarbomanglomagalle, Shibe, Sarbartho sadike.
Shaonnye, Tramboke Gouri, Narayani, Namostute.
Sristi sthiti binasayang, shakti bhute, sanatani."

"Guna shraye, ghunamoye, Narayani, Namastute. Sharanagata dinarta Paritranaye.
Sarba syarti hare,

Debi, Narayani, Namastute."

O Sarbamangala, Shiva, Shabarthaswadhika, Swaranyogya, Trambaka, Narayani, salutation to thee! You are the cause of creation, preservation and destruction, the receptable of all virtues and qualities. O Narayani, Trigunamayee, Thou art, wealth, shame, knowledge, faith, growth, the dead of night, the great illusion, the Eternal and Swadha. O Devi, O Narayani, salutation to thee."
