First of all, purify that place by sprinkling Ganga water. Then make a Swastika with red color on a wooden post and place the Kalash. Place a mango leaf in the Kalash and fill it with water or Ganga water. Also put a betel nut, some coins, Durva and a lump of turmeric in the Kalash. Keep a coconut wrapped in a red cloth on the Kalash’s mouth. Make octagons of ie whole rice and place the idol of Maa Durga. Cover them with red or pink chunari.
