In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Routledge: Bhakti and Embodiment

Keśavādinyāsa (केशवादिन्यास) (or simply Keśavādi) is one of the key nyāsas described in the Haribhakti-vilāsa and involves ritually establishing the fifty-one mūrtis of Bhagavān together with his fifty-one śaktis in various parts of the body. Jīva’s brief discussion reaffirms the basic procedure of mentally repeating the mantra associated with each deity (mūrti or śakti ) and touching the designated body part. However, in contrast to the Haribhakti-vilāsa, which considers the entire body to have been purified through bhūta-śuddhi and therefore does not object to establishing the deity in all parts of the bhakta’s body, including body parts such as the feet or anus that are deemed impure in the Brahmanical hierarchy of purity, Jīva insists that it is inappropriate for the bhakta to visualize the deity becoming established in the “lowest parts of the body.”
