Jalani Pooja Samagri

  Akshat/Rice grains (Chawal)
          Akshat means unbroken rice grains, which are offered to gain wealth and prosperity and it is offered to the deities by chanting this mantra :
"Akshtaashcha Surshreshtth Kumkumaaktaah Sushobhitaah. Mayaa Niveditaa Bhaktyaa Grihaann Parameshwar."

The unbroken rice grains also symbolize steadfastness and firmness of the brain and are also a symbol of peace.

         The rice grain without the husk, called Akshat, is a kind of grain that does not germinate. One cannot grow rice plants by seeding this type of rice. Symbolically it means that rice is the last birth. By offering this in Pooja one should strive to live life in such a way that at the end of this life one will be liberated and not born again.
