In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMūlabera (मूलबेर) refers to the “main image (idol)”, as discussed in the fifteenth chapter of the Aniruddhasaṃhitā, an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the annual festivals of temples and regular temple worship routines.—[Cf. the chapter pratiṣṭhāvidhi]: [...] Consecration of the temple-structure must also be done, and this includes fire-offerings [homa] and sprinkling of the towers with water and sandal-paste ( 26-31 ). Next day, at an auspicous time, the main idol [mūlabera] is moved into place, made perfectly upright with plumb-lines, and then fastened to the floor of the sanctuary, with a sacred cement mixture (32-38). The seven other idols are also consecrated (39-42), and the temple is then dosed for three days. On the fourth day only may pūjā-worship commence (30-44a) After this, the ācārya is hailed and rewarded (44b-46a).
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.
