The Post of Vishnu
October 22, 2007
In the yagya statala there were four large posts that structurally held up the center of the structure. These were made from small trees that had been felled, stripped of bark, and then painted different colors.
One pole for Vishnu (seen above, although I am not sure why his was black), one for Shiva (white) and one for Brahma (red) and the final pole was for Indra, the King of the gods. Although Indra is not much worshiped anymore, he is mentioned all through the Vedas.
Each day, during the vastu pujas, each of the poles received a quick puja with offerings of water, rice, and flowers.
