Namaskaram,

I think I have heard contradictory thoughts on applying Vibuthi during Sandhyavandanam, so I decided to ask the forum.

My doubt is should I apply Vibuthi like a paste after mixing it with water or just as it is?

I am confused about this because some say you should only mix it with water while giving pitru tharpanam.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

  • After bath, dry vibhuti. Evenings, with water.

You should ALWAYS apply vibhuti as a paste with water except for vibhuti prasadams from temples, where you can apply directly. So yes, you should apply vibhuti as a paste with water when you're doing sandhyavandanam or any other rituals. And no, pithru tharpanam and the way of applying vibhuti has no correlations as for as I know.
