Akshaya Navami Puja Rituals

Devotees should wake up early in the morning, take a holy bath, and resolve to observe the fast. Clean the place of worship and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi with full devotion. Since the main worship is performed in the evening, devotees should take another bath at that time.

Clean the area under an Amla tree, place all the puja items, and worship the tree using turmeric, rice, kumkum, flowers, and water. Light a ghee lamp under the tree and take seven circumambulations around it. Then, cook food under the same tree and first offer it to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiv. Finally, consume the prasad at that spot. Performing these rituals is believed to bring happiness, good fortune, and prosperity into one’s life.
