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.
The Prapatti should ordinarily be performed in an open area, such as the seashore or riverside, on an open ground, in a balcony, or in the area against the railings in chawls.
The higher the number of women performing the Prapatti, the better. Any woman above the age of 16, may perform it. If a woman performs the Prapatti for one year, it does not make it mandatory for her to carry it out every year. Moreover, Bapu has said that even if a woman is on her periods, she may apply the Udi on her tongue or belly button and perform the Prapatti.
