Following the morning puja, the sacred fire, or Havan, will be kindled.
The idol will then undergo a ceremonial bath. Using water from 114 Kalash (vases), each containing specially medicated liquids, the deities will be cleansed in a symbolic purification process.
In the evening, the 'Vyahati Hom,' a ritual that involves sacred offerings into the consecrated fire, will be conducted, followed by a night vigil, with regular puja and aarti.
