People from each household take a ritual bath in a stream or in the Satluj River on this occasion. After this, they fast for the whole day, eating a specially prepared feast at night.
The shivling is worshipped on this occasion. Food made from flour is placed round the shivling by a person who has bathed in the river and brought flowers and leaves with him.
