There are countless Hindu rituals and ritual sacrifice ceremonies.

We frequently chime the bell as a symbol to invoke the Gods and Goddesses prior to actually venerating the deities in temples and before commencing a puja ceremony at home. Ringing the bell emits the godly noise 'OM,' which produces significant wavelengths and sound waves all throughout the space.

When each of these positive energies huddle in one place, they magnify and disperse throughout the region where the worship is being conducted, filling the ambience with energy and enthusiasm and fending off all negative energy. The entire ecosystem becomes heavenly, and one senses and begins to feel in harmony.
Kalasha: The Purna-Kalasha is loved and respected as a fertility goddess or Devi in all Hindu marriage and birthing rituals. The Kalasha symbolizes materialistic items in this sense: a vessel of fertility - the earth and the womb, which enriches and replenishes life.

Q3. What should I do with Pooja Samagri after Pooja?
Should not throw waste into the river which makes it polluted that is not good for the environment. One should contact any organization that collects the puja offerings weekly/ monthly on regular basis. All biodegradable waste is used for composting so that it will become organic manure that will enrich agricultural land that provides food. Secondly, all the clothes that were used are also recycled and donated.
People can also take these to the nearest Temples and ask them to dispose of them along with their materials. If one has a garden, he can bury them in their garden and it'll get decomposed over time. This according to me is the best way of disposal.
