Pundarīkam means "lotus" in Sanskrit language.Pundarīkam in bhajana refers to the symbolic offering of a lotus to the Lord at the start of a devotional session. It represents surrendering the heart with purity and devotion, preparing the space and mind for worship. This act sanctifies the bhajan and invites divine presence. It is common in Divyanama bhajanai, Namavali traditions and rituals led by bhagavathars.
