According to the classical law, the resolution is made by getting up early today, tidying the house, taking a bath and preparing the puja items. Lamp, Kalash and Ganesha are worshiped and a copper plate with Ashtadal written on the Kalash is worshiped with sixteen items of Lord Vishnu. There is a traditional Vedic tradition of worshiping the priest and putting pure water in a copper or earthen vessel, mixing cinnamon, cloves, sukumel, cardamom, honey, sugar, sugar and mishri and donating all the grains and grains of barley.

It has been described in various Puranas that the pious deeds performed on this day such as bathing, charity, meditation and chanting will never perish. It is a tradition since Vedic times to donate barley and eat it yourself because it is similar to amrita in the summer of Baisakh. According to Toyraj Nepal, theologian and Valmiki Vidyapeeth Department of Theology, both help to protect the body from the heat and also gain strength from it. It is said that it will also help to increase the immunity of the body.
