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.

Since the year 2011, all the Shraddhavan women have been celebrating the Shree Mangalchandika Prapatti with great fervour together on the day of Makar Sankranti, as per the guidance of Bapu. Other women take part in the Prapatti as well along with the Shraddhavan women.
