The core ritual involves Pran Pratishtha (installation of the idol) during the auspicious Madhyahna period, which is considered the most propitious window for worship. Devotees traditionally offer modaks, red flowers, durva grass, and coconut prayers while chanting sacred hymns. While many households host the deity for 1.5 or 3 days, public pandals and traditional households maintain the celebrations for the full ten days before performing the final immersion (visarjan).
