During Anasara everyday after Madhyanna Dhupa the Daita and Pati Mohapatra sevaks enter the Anasara Gruha and perform Gupta Seba and Puja.During this period,only these two categories of Sevaks can offer Seva to Mahaprabhu.Just as there is need of medicines when a person is ill,in the same way Mahaprabhu need herbal treatment and medicines for healing him from fever.
Just as medical patients are given light and healthy food,in the same way,Mahaprabhu is offered a special drink comprising of Lia (Fried Paddy),Guda khai (Jaggery flavoured Fried Paddy),Jackfruit,Mango,and Milk,Milk Cream, Chena,Camphor,Nutmeg Powder,and Nabaata.During this ritual,the deities wear white clothes only and are dressed with white flowers.The Daitapatis wear only a Dhoti.The Bhoga offered during this period is not given to anyone and no one talks in a loud voice during this time.Less lights are lighted inside Shrimandir and Til Oil is used to light a lamp inside Anasar Gruha.
