The puja begins with cleaning the altar and preparing the Kalash with water, betel leaves, and a coconut. Devotees then place the idol or image of the Goddess, adorning it with flowers and a red chunri. Offerings include kumkum, rice, white or lotus flowers, Panchamrit, ghee diya, dhoop, and incense. The mantra “Om Devi Brahmacharinyai Namah” is chanted, ideally 108 times. The puja concludes with aarti, hymns, and distribution of prasad.
