 There are two types of Hindu priests, "pujaris" ("swamis", "yogis", and gurus) and "purohits" ("pundits").A "pujari" performs rituals in a temple.These rituals include bathing the "murtis" (the statues of the gods/goddesses), performing "puja", a ritualistic offering of various items to the Gods, the waving of a "ghee" or oil lamp also called an offering in light, known in Hinduism as "aarti", before the "murtis".
