Silver garland has great importance in this fast.
When to wear garland and how to do puja during every fast
In the worship of Ahoi Ashtami, there is a silver rosary and a locket, which has the picture of Sayu Mata. There are silver beads equal to it. The garland is worn after fasting on the first Ahoi Ashtami after the birth of a child. Many women observe fast even before wishing to have a child, but the garland is worn only for the sake of the child. It is added every year. Two beads are added every time. It is added from the first year of the child and every year on Ahoi Ashtami, one bead is added on each side. If there are two children, two and two and four beads are added. On the day of puja, bathe this rosary with milk and then wear it after applying tilak and saying a story. It is worn till this Chhoti Diwali.
