The perpetual torma ( རྟག་གཏོར་) which is kept for special durations, months and years, in the manner of shrine offering, can be of two types. The first is the sadhana torma ( སྒྲུབ་གཏོར་), also called offering torma ( མཆོད་གཏོར་), which is presented to the deities at the time of making offerings. The other is the mending torma ( སྐང་གཏོར་) which is given in the manner of manifold sense-pleasures. The session torma ( ཐུན་གཏོར་), also called daily torma ( རྒྱུན་གཏོར་), is given occasionally as a present at the end of enjoining certain activities. The captured torma ( གཏའ་གཏོར་) is kept until the activity is accomplished after which it is given so the activity is accomplished swiftly and with no delay.
