Prapatti Procedure

On the day of Sankranti post sunset, women may come together in an open area to perform the Prapatti. The observance of Prapatti enables every woman in any role whether a mother, wife or sister, to obtain the inner strength for becoming a protective soldier or in fact, the bodyguard for her family. She assumes such a role after the completion of the Prapatti.

Steps of doing Prapatti

Take a huge paraat (plate with raised edges) and place it on a chaurang or paat (Indian traditional wooden stool). Put whole wheat grains in the paraat and place a kalash (small metal pot) in it. Add rice grains in the kalash and place a tamhan (a small metal plate) over it. Make two footprints of the Mother Chandika in the tamhan. The right footprint should be made from kumkum while the left one of turmeric. Place a picture of Swayam Bhagwan Trivikram in the paraat, resting against the kalash. This is the arrangement required for the pooja.
