In the order a household actually does it, including what to set up beforehand.
Sweep and mop the whole house, and clear the puja room. Dhanteras cleaning is treated as the proper beginning of Diwali preparation rather than an afterthought.
Light a ghee lamp before a picture or idol of Dhanvantari, offer tulsi, and recite the Dhanvantari mantra. Households with an Ayurvedic practice also do puja to their medicine cabinet.
Buy the utensil or jewellery before sunset if possible. Even a single steel bowl counts — the ritual requirement is metal, not value.
Place one diya outside the main entrance with its flame facing south, on a small plate of rice or wheat. Leave it to burn out. Do not move it once lit.
Some households do a short Lakshmi puja with Kubera on this night, ahead of the main Lakshmi Puja on Diwali.
