First and foremost
begin with cleansing, i.e. clean the area where the altar is to be
set up. This should face the eastern direction if possible. You and
others who will participate in the performance of the Puja should
bathe, and wear clean and comfortable clothes. Men may wear
kurta/pajama combination, or dhoti/uttareeyam combination with or
without a kurta/shirt/jibba etc. If men wearing dhoti decide to wear
no upper garment, then a yagnopavita should be worn.
