You need to install and invoke Goddess Durga. For this, spread the red cloth on chowki. Tie Moli around it. Now place idol or picture of Goddess Durga on the chowki.

Chant the necessary prayers and invoke Goddess Durga to come and enlighten your home. People pray the Goddess to establish her for 9 days at their homes. Rituals are done in the usual puja procedure like offering flowers, chandan, sindoor, bhog, diya and much more. Panchopchar is also a part of it where you need to offer five things to the Goddess.

Aarti Of Durga Mata

Take Puja ki Thali and bell in hand. Sing the Durga aarti with jingle the bell. After you complete aarti, give aarti first to Goddess Durga, Ghat (Kalash) and deities present in Ghat. At evening (sandhya) repeat the aarti. This is done for all the 9 days. Many people keep fast for all the 9 days and some for the first and last day.
