Can be done from one day before (10th March) till the end of the fast (20th March):
Worship God or Sadguru with Dwadshakshar Mantra (Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay) and chant one rosary of this mantra. If you have the capacity, then offer rice cooked in milk mixed with ghee and jaggery and burn the same with local cow dung and perform Havan with Dwadshakshar Mantra.

On the next day after the end of the fast (on 21st March), the Satvik Brahmin and the guests should be served pure, Satvik food as per their capacity. The destitute, blind, and helpless people should also be satisfied with food, etc. When everyone has eaten, consider their hospitality as a means of pleasing God, and then eat with your brothers and sisters. By observing this fast in this manner, God becomes pleased and fulfills the wishes of the person observing the fast.
