Sridevi Asks Lord after having known 100 aparadhas that could be committed while devatarchana which should be averted by alert sevaka .. i wish to know 32 main amongst these which needs to be absolutely avoided !
Varaha deva says !
Devataarchana after:

- having eaten food made of safflower /sunflower leaves flowers and then doing devataarchana
- flowers of creepers , palash should not be used for archana
- the fools should not worship at asuri kaala [ after vihit kaala ]
- giving naivedya of the anna prepared by avaishnava
- doing pooja of VISHNU when elders / gurus are present in the vicinity
- burning incense [ gugullu ] without using ghee for LORD
- using only ghee for the incense
- using palms for aarti or only thread or cotton [ or not dripped enough ]
- doing pooja while in presence of avaishnavas looking at them
- bathing LORD with idol in left hand or using left hand during pooja
- giving naivedya of the items which are a day old or prepared previous day ,giving naivedya of the dishes prepared through remote heat [ like microwave or like tandoor ] steek tikka sizzler etc is prohibited
- doing pooja wearing blue dress or giving blue dress to LORD ,adorning LORD with dress which is washed nine times or torn or worn out dresses
- offering lord any item that has contacted the nails or contacted water falling through nails .doing pooja making noise , conversation , without silence ,doing pooja with profusely sweating body
- doing pooja of lord holding the vaat mutra [ urine . fart or faeces ],when there is urge for it ,if passed the air [ vaata ] through anus then continuing pooja without achamana
- doing pooja with complete covering from head to toe
- sitting/standing on high pedestal giving dhoop deepa ,giving dhoopa deepa without naivedya
- without doing pooja of the tatavdevatas in the dhamnis proceeding to vishnu pooja
- being shiva dweshi [ hating SHIVA ] ,or Hating Vishnu doing Shaiva pooja
- the pooja of those who do not do nakta vrata on ashtami is not accepted by lord ,the pooja of those who do not do harivasara is not accepted by lord
- worshipping Vihsnu as someoneelse or someone else as vishnu is not acceptable
- doing pooja without worshipping Vighneshwara and Kaapali is not acceptable [ this would result in difficulties all the three times a day ]
- worshipping in darkness touching idols like a blind man
- worshipping Lord after talking to rajaswala
- lighting the oil lamp with safflower castor oil is prohibited
- one who does not do ekadashi upavas his pooja is not acceptable
- doing archan without the knwoledge of tantrasara
all the above aparadhas are considered as mahaaparadhas and LORD does not forgive them .. but those who stay awake in the night of ekadashi and recite vishnusahasranaam LORD forgives thousands of aparadhas ..

When offering naivedya to Sri Hari roopas, someone was mentioning to me that if we are offering fruits, then the outer covering should be peeled off completely before offering as naivedya. Please advice if this is how it should be done.

5th day onwards they are not rajaswala .. but even after woman and non dwijas should not do pratima pooja ,,, they can only offer to clean the pooja room with gomaya and assist in pooja ….
