A few days before the festival, markets are full of items needed for the festival. The preparations for this festival start a week in advance. Appointments are made with beauty parlors, hands are decorated with intricate Mehndi designs and jewelery and cloth merchants do a brisk business.
The basket contains sweets, mathadi, fruits and a sari. Before the sun sets, most of the women in a locality gather in one house and prepare a corner for the Puja. This Puja Chowk is beautifully decorated and a small platform is prepared against a wall on which the image of Gauri Mata or Goddess Parvati is placed. In the olden days, this image was made of cow-dung. When the moon rises women worship the Moon God and their husband and then take food.
