It is advised that devotees must wake up at Brahma Muhurat on Anant Chaturdashi and complete their daily chores.

Ashoka leaves and coconut should also be placed on the Kalash. This brass Kalash is known as Anant Kalash.
Place Kumkum, Kesar and turmeric on the Anant Kalash. The devotees also need to prepare an Anant Sutra with 14 knots. They should also light lamps or candles around the Anant Sutra and Anant Kalash. After this, seek blessings from Lord Satyanarayan by signing his hymns.
The food prepared at home should first be offered to the deity as Bhog. Jaggery should be added to the Bhog. Feed the Bhog to a cow while praying to Satyanarayan. Do not forget to wear the Anant Sutra on your wrist while performing the ritual.
This ritual is usually performed by devotees on Anant Chaturdashi to get rid of family disputes, illnesses and financial problems.
