All five elements - earth, water, light, air, and sky are revered in the idol of the deity during Dashavidha Snan. On the first day, Jaldhivas, by Annadhivas, then Fladhivas, then Vastradivas - all the natural objects are integrated into the idol of the deity by adhivas. This indicates that in Sanatan Dharma, worship of nature coexists with adoration of the god idol.
