Four days after Deepavali, on Kartik's Chavithi, Telugu mothers keep a vrat for their children and offer puja to Naga Devata, at home and at the anthill. A spoonful of milk is poured into the putta, chalimidi and chimmili are offered, and the anthill's earth is touched to the children's ears.
The vrat
Kept by the women of the house. Many keep it only until the puja at the putta is done. The elderly, and anyone unwell, pregnant or nursing, eat and keep the puja.
