  • Those taking the vow should begin by making a clear sankalp in front of Lord Vishnu.
  • Devotees traditionally avoid consuming grains throughout the day. 
  • Those unable to fast completely may opt for fruits, milk, and juices.
  • Worship of Lord Vishnu is performed in the morning and evening, along with chanting his mantras and listening to or reading sacred stories associated with the deity.
  • On the following morning, Dwadashi, devotees once again offer prayers before performing charity and finally consuming food.

Only after this ritual sequence is the vrat considered complete.
