Worship in Malayalam
ഭജനം (bhajanam) is worship, service and adoration, with ഭജിക്കുക (bhajikkuka) as the verb that goes with it. The general Sanskrit word for temple ritual is not in this list, so these entries sit on the devotional side of the idea.
Worship, service, adoration, division.
മുത്തശ്ശി വൈകുന്നേരം ഭജനം പാടും.
muthashi vaikunneram bhajanam paadum.
Grandmother sings devotional songs in the evening.
