Who are Ishta devs and Kul devtas and how are they worshipped

Worshipping your Isht is a rather personal and everyday thing. It can be as small as taking their name in your mind, doing naam jap in the early hours, or just offering them flowers, water, or the likes when you visit a temple. When worshipping the Isht dev, you can also chant hymns and mantras, and remain true and honest to them. For Kul devis and devtas on the other hand, the worship is much more familial. When Kul devtas are worshipped, the entire family and clan participates, and people come together after years and from long distances to honour their Gods.
