While ringing the bell, offer flowers (puṣpāñjali) at the feet of each deity [first to śrī guru, then Śrī Gaurāṅga and then Śrī rādhā-kṛṣṇa] with the mantra “eṣa puṣpāñjaliḥ” and the respective mūla-mantra. then offer each article. [offer first to Śrī gaurāṅga and Śrī rādhā-kṛṣṇa, and then the guru-paramparā. If Tulasī-devī is on the altar, one may offer the article to her also, before offering to the guru-paramparā.] Then offer the next article.
After completing the maṅgalaārati, come out of the deity room and blow the conch three times, each for a long time [and then wash it before bringing it back into the deity room].
