In Hinduism, idol worship, or Murti puja, is a practice and norm. While some religions and cultures believe that there is no one face of God, Hindus are of the opinion that every God has a face, and thus there are idols of different Gods and Goddesses. And so to their beliefs, murti puja is not just about praying to a statue but about connecting with the divine presence. Hindus believe that Gods and Goddesses manifest their energies into these idols, and worshipping them means a successful prayer.
And thus there are idols and murtis of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Maa Durga, Mata Parvati, and many more.
