According to experts in mythology, Kanjak Puja begins with washing the feet of young girls (between the ages of 2-10 years). After this tilak is applied on their forehead and Kalava is tied in their hands. After that, they are first offered soft coconut and then they are offered complete pudding, and dry black gram. In some parts of northern India, many people also prepare satvik aloo gobhi or aloo tomato with chana. At the end of the puja, they are also given gifts in the form of money, jewellery, clothes, toys etc. In the end, the devotees seek his blessings by touching his feet and after he leaves, the devotees break the fast with the remaining bhog. .
