Turmeric and kumkuma (vermilion) should be applied to the 'gadapa' (the bottom part of the door frame) and to the 'gummam' (top of the door frame) mango leves toranam (hangings), the puja room should also be cleaned and decorated with turmeric, kumkuma and gamdham (sandalwood paste). The platform in the puja room must be covered with cloth and should be arranged such that when we sit facing the platform we face north or east.
