- Jahni Osha is mostly celebrated by unmarried girls. In this pooja, they worship maa Brundabati/Tulasi. (In Hindu mythology Goddess Tulsi is a very favorite of lord Vishnu than wife Laxmi.) This puja occurs in the evening time of the day.
- The unmarried Girls’ gathered near the Tulsi chaura. They decorated the chaura with rangoli colors and with flowers. Ridge guard flower (Jahni fula) is the main offering of this Osha.
- Besides this, they offered seasonal fruits like custard apple, cucumber, guava, etc. Then they recite the jahni osha Gita, offered dhupa, dipa, and prasad to the Goddess Tulasi. And then this puja ends for that day. This process continues throughout the month. On the last day, they end their pooja known as Kumar Purnima.
