Puja vidhi (brief)
- Clean the house in the morning; at the main door draw rangoli, hang a toran, draw a swastik and Lakshmi's footprints on both sides — from the threshold towards the puja place.
- Shopping during the day — a metal utensil (brass/copper/silver; never brought home empty — fill it with rice/sugar/water), a gold or silver coin, a new broom, coriander seeds, diyas.
- In the evening spread a red cloth on a wooden seat at the puja place and set up the picture/idol of Lakshmi-Ganesha, Kuber and Lord Dhanvantari; place the purchased utensil/coin before them with roli and akshat.
- Puja in Pradosh Kaal (time above): kalash sthapana, lamp and incense, flowers, roli-akshat, kheel-batasha, sweets, coriander; chant 'Om Dhanvantaraye Namah', 'Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Kuberaya Namah' and the Lakshmi mantra; pray to Dhanvantari for health and to Kuber-Lakshmi for wealth.
- Worship the safe/ledgers/cash box — a swastik in roli, akshat, flowers; traders start new account books on this day or on Diwali.
- Yam Deepdaan: after sunset take a four-faced lamp of dough or clay with mustard oil and four wicks; place it outside the house facing south, on a small heap of grain (wheat); a woman of the family folds her hands and prays — 'Mrityuna pashadandabhyam kalena shyamaya saha, trayodashyam deepdanat suryajah priyatam mama'. Let it burn all night.
- Light 13 (or 5-7) diyas in every corner of the house, at the Tulsi, the kitchen, the water place and the door — the festival of lamps begins here.
- Distribute prasad after the aarti; use the new utensil for the first time in the Diwali puja or in the kitchen the next day.
