Use red ochre to craft this figure and place seasonal fruits, sweets, plums, and water chestnuts nearby. Additionally, keep items intended for donation close to the deity. Position some sugarcanes beside the figure and cover them with a sieve or basket. Light a lamp near the figure and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. At the auspicious time, sound a conch or bell to awaken all deities with the chant 'Utho Deva, Baitha Deva'. Finally, present Panchamrit to the gods, and on the following day, donate according to your means while breaking the fast.
