content: Edited film: Shows a typical, middle class brahman, assisted by his wife, as he performs his morning rites of worship (grharcana) at the home shrine. Portrays the role of domestic worship routines in devotional Hinduism, and suggests a rationale to explain why temple-oriented worship occupies a place of secondary importance for many Hindu theists. Filmed within the Tengalai brahman community of Srivaisnavas.
