Hinduism And Hindu Theology - What Is Anulepana?

 


The ninth of the sixteen customary upacharas given to a god as part of devotion, Anulepana means "smearing." 



  • The god is given with fragrant unguents, or ointments, such as sandalwood paste, in this sacrifice. 
  • These ointments are not only utilized for their scent, but they are also thought to be beneficial to the skin.
