Vessels kept apartA new or freshly cleaned set of vessels, a kalchhi and a lota used only for these four days.
An earthen chulha and mango woodA new earthen chulha for the Kharna prasad and the thekua, and mango wood to burn in it; else a stove kept apart.
Arwa rice and sendha namakArwa (unboiled) rice for the bhaat and the rasiyav, and sendha namak for Nahay-Khay.
Clean clothes for the vratiNew or freshly washed, unstitched where the house keeps that custom: a sari, or a dhoti.
