There is a ton of information on the net...clipped this from one such place:

In Hinduism, a form of ceremonial worship. It may range from brief daily rites in the home to an elaborate temple ritual. A typical puja offers the image of a deity the honours accorded to a royal guest. The god is gently roused from sleep, ritually bathed and dressed, served three meals during the day, and ceremonially put to bed. Rituals may also include a sacrifice and oblation to the sacred fire. Some pujas are performed by the worshiper alone; others require a ritually pure person. A puja may be performed for a specific purpose or simply as an act of devotion.

The Fire Puja is a religious ceremony I did during my recent retreat. The ceremony took four days and was preformed by a dear friend of Uncle Bill's who is a Lama Jegme from Idaho. This ceremony is done once a year and is a blessing to HI, Customers, Workers, Buildings and Owners. It is a very special time and one Uncle Bill and I looked forward to each year. Thank you for your interest.
