__NOTOC__
'''Pujari''' was a [[Warlock]] [[Thanatonaut]] whose studies provided insight on the more arcane parts of the universe. In particular, they received a vision of the [[Black Garden]] when they drowned at the [[Shores of Time]].<ref name="Pujari"/> Pujari also believed that the [[Darkness]] was the physical manifestation of evil, derived from the corruption of the [[Golden Age]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny - Grimoire:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness|Darkness]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#The_Darkness|The Darkness]]''</ref>

Not much else is known about their life, other than they died a final death sometime before the events of ''[[The Taken King]]''.<ref name="NotForgedInLight">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''Destiny: [[The Taken King]] - [[Not Forged in Light#Step 12|Not Forged in Light: Step 12]]''</ref>

==Legacy==
{{Quote|Purity of purpose compels—to see evil and defend those who cannot defend themselves is righteous, but to assume that this act of defense confers righteousness upon us and villainy upon our opponents is a fallacy. It is a slippery slope.|[[Ikora Rey]]<ref name="Foreword">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Chirality|Chirality]], [[Lore:Chirality#Foreword|Foreword]]''</ref>}}
Years after Pujari's death, their philosophy would be reexamined and ultimately deemed a fallacy by [[Ikora Rey]]. She acknowledged that attributing a moral valence to the Darkness used to be a compelling view in line with the attitudes in the [[Tower]] and the [[Last City]] at large, but at the current state of knowledge, Pujari's dreams and comprehensions of Darkness should rather be attributed to the being known as the [[Witness]].<ref name="Foreword"/>

Members of the fringe faction of [[Symmetry]], devoted to the teachings of [[Ulan-Tan]], do not seem to have a favorable view of Pujari's philosophy either.<ref name="Symmetry">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''Destiny 2: The Final Shape - Lore:Chirality, [[Lore:Chirality#Symmetry|Symmetry]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The [[Legendary]] Helmet [[Spearhead Type 0]] has an amusing flavor-text featuring Purjari and [[Wei Ning]]: "''PUJARI-WEI RATIO: colloquial. Amount of time Warlocks spend planning battles versus time Titans spend winning them.''"
*During the [[exotic]] [[quest]] for [[No Time To Explain]], "[[Not Forged in Light]]", [[Lakshmi-2]] commands our [[The Guardian|Guardian]] to fight [[the Groundskeeper]] in [[the Black Garden]]. During the mission, they find an artifact Lakshmi describes as "a ring with the symbol of the Warlock Pujari" and says it has been "pulled through time". She also confirms that Pujari died a final death.<ref name="NotForgedInLight"/>
*Pujari means ''priest'' in the regions of south and central India.
