Apologies: With folded hands, ask for forgiveness from the Mother Goddess for any mistake made during the puja.

Water from Kalash: Sprinkle the water from the Kalash all over the house (this removes negative energy) and pour the remaining water in any sacred plant (except Tulsi).

Rising tides: Raise the jowar post while shouting ‘Jai Mata Di’. Keep some jowar in your safe or granary, this will ensure blessings.

Water immersion: Float the tide in a holy river, lake or flowing water. If water source is not available, keep it in a clean place near the root of a tree.

Do not make these mistakes even by mistake (Rules to Follow)

No feet: The tides are considered to be the form of Mother, during immersion, take care that no one steps on them.

Dry Tides: If the tides have dried, do not keep them in the house, dispose of them immediately.

Use of dustbin prohibited: Never throw Jware or puja material in the dustbin, it is considered a grave defect.

Virgo feast: Before immersion, make sure to feed the girls as much as you can, because the Navratri fast is not considered complete without the girls.
