It is a common belief among the Hindus that if a particular deity is worshipped properly according to the set rules of worship, he or she will bestow the desired boons upon the devotee.

The present work, viz., 'PANCHAKALA KRIYA DEEPA' is a work on the worship of Lord Vishnu. It prescribes not only the modes of worship of Lord Vishnu, but the daily routine of religious and other activities to be performed by the men belonging to the Vishnu cult. This book is divided into five chapters called Paricchedas prescribing some aspect or other of the worship of Lord Vishnu.
