• On the puja platform, spread a red cloth and create an intact octagon. Install a picture of Maa Durga within this octagon.
• Fill the Kalash with water, Ganga water, a coin, roli, turmeric lump, durva, and betel nut. Place five mango leaves in the Kalash and cover it, then position a coconut on top.
• Next, take an earthen pot and fill it with clean soil. Sow some barley grains in the pot and sprinkle water over them. Install the pot on a post.
• Light a lamp and invoke Ganpati, Mata Ji, and the Navagrahas. Then, worship the goddess with due reverence.
• Recite the mantra "Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu Shakti Rupen Sansthita, Namastesyaye Namastesye Namastesye Namo Namah" and perform Aarti of the Goddess in the morning and evening for all nine days of Navratri.
