Now worship the goddess, by dressing up beautifully and by observing a strict fast, without consuming water and food. Offer turmeric, mehndi, vermilion, bangles, red chunari, sattu and mal pua to neemdi mata.

Worship the moon and give it the offerings. Then have water from your husband's hand and complete the fast. There is a religious belief that by the grace of the Goddess, long and a prosperous married life is attained.

Story of Kajri Teej: Married women must read or listen to the vrat katha of Kajri Teej at the time of worship of Mata Neemdi. Only then the fast is believed to be successful and complete.
