Worship of Goddess Varalakshmi for wealth and prosperity — observed on the Friday nearest to (and before) Shravana Purnima

• Lakshmi puja
• Kalasha worship
• New saree offered

[Kshaya Ekadashi — Type 4] Shravana Putrada Ekadashi tithi occurs entirely between two sunrises without touching either (rare Kshaya Tithi). Per Nirnayasindhu, the fast is observed today — the Dashami-sunrise day when Ekadashi actually occurs intra-day.

• Fasting
• Vishnu worship
• Consult local panchanga for Parana time
