Trisandya
The Trisandya (from Sanskrit: त्रिसन्ध्या पूज, romanized: Trisandhyā Puja, lit. 'three-cusp prayer') is a commonly-used prayer in Indian Hinduism and Balinese Hinduism. It is uttered three times each day: 6 am at morning, noon, and 6 pm at evening, in line with the Sandhyavandanam tradition.[1][2]
The Puja Tri Sandhya has been compared to the Adhan (call to prayer) in Islam and the Angelus prayer in Christianity.[3]
