The newly-made udumbara wood seat is placed in the west direction of the homa-kunda. A clean, washed cloth is spread on it. The bride and groom sit on it. The groom sits on the right side of the bride, and both face east. Then, the Upadhyaya performs the homa with mantras, accompanied by musical instruments and the recitation of Mangala Ashtak. Then, holding the bride's right hand with his left hand, including her thumb, he brings her to the left side and offers oblations of rice. Then, the groom places the sprouted seeds (ankur) in front of the bride and groom. Then, the Upadhyaya recites the sankalpa in front of the homa-kunda.
After the recitation of the auspicious words, the five-mandala puja is performed. The puja of the nine deities is performed according to the prescribed method. Then, with the terrible mantra, the homa is performed with oblations of fuel. The bride and groom offer oblations of laja (roasted rice) with both their hands. The groom sits on the left side of the bride. A stone with a lump of clay is placed in front of them in the mandala. Seven stones are placed, each representing a puja, and they are made of akshata (unbroken rice). The couple is placed in front of these stones. Then, the groom takes the bride's right big toe with his right hand seven times with joy. The seven stones represent the seven qualities of the seven places. The seven stones are explained one by one with the sankalpa.
