Mahalakshmi is worshipped on all ten days during Navrathri including Dassera. But second three days in nine days are meant for lakshmi pujai. She will be pleased with simple offerings like Sakara saadam,Paal saadam and Kalkandu saadam. Lakshmi Ashtothara namam, Sahasranamam and Kanakadaara stotram and Sri Suktham can be chanted on these three days. Lakshmi Dwadasa Nama stotram is considered good. The kolam for fourth, fifth and sixth days are given below. Prasadams pertaining to the Days are also posted. I like to share my views regarding some columns in the chart. I included Navagraha offerings in the chart duly following the Day from 1st day of navrathri. The Danyam for Budha is Payiru(moong) so we can make payiru sundal on day one. Like wise followed by other days. Where sundal cannot be prepared with the danyam for Sukra (on friday) and Sun(on sunday) I try to include Mochai (if available) on Friday in other form like in koottu or kuzambhu, and wheat rava in sakarai pongal in small measure (2 tsp) on Sunday. After 7th day of the week, when wednesday repeats, make prasadam for Rahu and next day kethu. This year we need to offer kethu prasadam on dassera. Making other types of sundal can always be done as per one's own desire and convenience because choice of sundal available as per navagraha are Payiru (moong), Karruppu kadalai, and Thuvarai alone. Here is the link for the chart for second three days.
