Sudasha Brata Puja Vidhi involves a series of rituals dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, observed by married women in Odisha for prosperity and well-being. The puja is performed on a Thursday that coincides with Dasami (the tenth day of the waxing moon phase).

Here’s a general outline of the puja vidhi:

1. Preparation: The house is thoroughly cleaned the night before, and traditional rice paste designs (jhoti) are drawn.
2. Sacred Thread (Brata): A turmeric-dipped thread with ten knots is tied on the right arm while chanting ten names of Goddess Lakshmi.
3. Offerings: Ten flowers, ten manda pithas (rice cakes), ten chenna bhog (cheese-based sweets), ten duba (grass), and ten gooseberry leaves are offered.
4. Puja Setup: The idol of Goddess Lakshmi is placed on a wooden pedestal, accompanied by a kalash (sacred pot) filled with water and topped with a mango twig bearing ten leaves.
5. Fasting & Worship: Women observe a fast throughout the day, recite prayers, and perform rituals seeking blessings for their families.
6. Completion: The puja concludes with the distribution of prasad and breaking of the fast.
