The Sanskrit word ', which in general usage means "resting" or "position", used in connection with a murti is translated by Apte as "the consecration of a vessel or dwelling". The corresponding adjective ' means "installed" or "consecrated". "Prana" means "life force, breath, spirit". The phrase "Prana Pratishtha" is a ritual that means, state Bhame and Krusche, "bringing life to the temple". It is also referred to as "Murti Sthapana" (image placement inside the temple), or the composite word "Pranapratishtha". Traditionally, this was the step when the eye of the murti was sculpted open, inside the "garbhagriha" (Purusha space of the temple) of a Hindu temple.
