Offer kumkum, haldi, akshata (rice) and marigold petals.

Practical Wearing Tips

Prefer open-back settings; keep the gem touching the skin.

Clean monthly with mild soap water; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners for treated/fragile gems.
Re‑energize on auspicious tithis (Shukla Paksha).
