16 RELIGIOUS RITES from either a top of a hill or from river bank, or sea coast, or the clay may be brought from an ant hill(termite mound), or from the roots of the tulsi plant garden. The ‘Urdhva Pundaram’ shall be applied in a straight line manner on the forehead, on the chest and also on the two arms. The sacred clay materials should be first offered to Shree Hari and then used for ‘Urdhva Pundram’ application. Configuration or Shape of the ‘Urdhva Pundaram’ Having prescribed the material for usage in ‘Urdhva Pundram’ application, it is equally important to know the shape or configuration in which the ‘Urdhva Pundram’ has to be worn on an individual. In this connection, Shree Shatanand Muni quotes extensively from a number of Achar Samhitas, Brahmand of Achar Madhav, Achar Mayuka, Padma Puranam and Vasudev Upanishad, in the Shiksha patri Bhashya, for the benefit of the devotees. Some of the shapes or configurations prescribed for ‘Urdhva Pundram’ application are as follows:-
