    Hi all,

    This doubt has been lingering around my mind these days! Please let me know your thoughts!
    We have the habit of offering flowers, fruits and water to God everyday when we lit lamp.
    What should I do with that water after Pooja? ( everyday after pooja)

    My late dad after his pooja, would insist to add that remaining pooja water into tulsi or any other plants in our garden. Those stay in flats too add this water to flower pots in the balcony. If the water collected for pooja is from can drinking water one can use pooja water for drinking. I am sure people are not taking corporation water for pooja.
    Nice question.
    Regards.

    This is what I do :
    Water goes into Tulasi plant.
    Fruit is consumed by us.
    Flowers goes into mud( I usually collect them neatly and go and put it in the base of the tree near house). Off late I also feel bad to do that for the trees on the road because rats and dogs are spreading that and spoiling the roads - so I dry those flowers(sun dry) . Once they are dry I powder them by hand or in a mixer and use as manure for my pots.
