This method of worship follows the one prescribed in the Parashurama Kalpasutra. Parashurama is one of the great avatars (forms) of Maha Vishnu.

These are the main services being offered to the Devi in this puja, as though She is an honoured guest in your home:

1) inviting Her presence,
2) offering a place to sit,
3) water to wash Her feet,
4) water to wash Her hands,
5) water to rinse Her mouth,
6) water to bathe (along with milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, sugar water and fruit juice),
7) fresh clothes to wear,
8) jewellery and ornaments,
9) perfumes, chandan (sandalwood), vermillion (red kumkum powder),
10) showering the body with flowers,
11) a nice fragrance to smell (using incense),
12) a light to see (which represents a part of you being offered),
13) some food to eat,
14) a betel leaf to freshen Her breath,
15) the camphor lamp which combines fragrance and light,
16) bowing to the Divine Presence which is inside you.

Here are some things you'll can use for the puja as you practice at first:
1) water
2) akshatas (rice rubbed with haldi powder)

Practice the mantras and mudras as often as you can and realize the Loving Presence of Sri Lalitha in your life!

Remember, when gripping any items, if you practice using your right hand and only your ring finger, middle finger and thumb to grip any puja items, these fingers provide a positive energy flow and any mistakes you make will be absorbed by the Guru lineage.

Here are the other things you can include once you've started getting comfortable with the mantras:
1) bell
2) dhupam (incense)
3) dipam (lamp)
4) flowers
5) karpura dipam (camphor lamp)

This version of the puja, which uses the sacred Sri Suktam, helps to achieve wealth and prosperity, but not just the material kind. Sri Lalitha is the highest form of the Divine Mother, Compassion and Love - Sri Rajarajeshwari Herself - and knows what you need to progress.
