Every day practices
As you may know, Hindus try to pray almost everyday whether they are in temple or at home. You may not know that Hindus face either North or East when sitting on their clean mat. North symbolizes a path of spiritual progress, while East symbolizes Enlightenment being represented as the sun (the reason it is in the morning). This is known as the Nitya Puja: the daily worship(alone) in the Hindu culture. There are other basic rules or guidelines of the Hindu culture such as praying before eating, bathing or even a prayer to be chanted before traveling. Daily practices of Hindus includes a large portion of praying.
