Devotees must wake up early in the morning, take a bath and wear fresh clothes. Clean the home temple and place an idol of Nag Devta. Offer flowers, sandalwood and turmeric to the deity. Pour milk with honey over the idol and light a ghee lamp to do puja. Devotees can also observe a fast to mark the festival.

Chant these mantras while worshipping the serpent god: Survey Naga: Priyanta Me Ye Kechit Prithvitale.
Ye cha helimarichistha yeyantre divi sansthitah.
Ye Nadishu Mahanaga Ye Saraswatigamin.
Ye Cha Vapitadageshu Teshu Sarveshu Vai Namah.

This mantra means: May the snakes who are staying in this world, sky, heaven, sun-rays, lakes, wells, ponds, etc. bless us, and we all salute them.
