Pooja vidhi
Wake up early and after bathing, clean your pooja room. Face the east side and place a green cloth. Place the image or murti of Lord Vamana on it. Now, perform a dashopachar pooja. Dashopachar pooja is one in which there are ten 'upachars’ or ten steps. The steps you will need to follow are padya, ardhya, shaman, snana, vastra, gandha, Pushpa, deepa, and naivedya. If you do not have the means to do the above, you can just mentally offer these to Lord Vamana. It is the thought and its sincerity that counts.
Offer gaudhrit, sandalwood, tulsi leaves, red sandalwood, and mosambi fruit or you can also offer sugar to the deity.
Chant the mantra using a rudraksha mala.
