During Dhanteras, it is customary for people to clean up their places. In many households, with a mixture of rice and flour, imprints of little feet are drawn on the floor. Some people prefer observing a fast on this day while some do puja in the evening after sunset.

In the evening, while performing the puja, devotees place seven grains in front of goddess Lakshmi’s idols or picture and seek her blessings for prosperity and wealth.
