Every year on the full moon day of the month of Margasirsha, Annapurna Jayanti is celebrated. This day is considered to be Mata Parvati's birthday. It is traditional that when there was a scarcity of food on the planet, humans began to crave food. Then, as Annapurna, the goddess of food, Mother Parvati descended to solve the people's worries. Today is Annapurna Jayanti, which means it is usual to worship Mother Annapurna honestly, and there is never a scarcity of food, water, or food in the household on this day. Here's an attempt at Mother Annapurna devotion and the narrative...

Puja Method:-
On Annapurna Jayanti, get up at sunrise in the morning and bathe and clean the place of worship and kitchen thoroughly and spray Gangajal. Then worship the kitchen stove with turmeric, kumkum, akshat, flower etc. Then install the idol of Mother Annapurna at a post and take a yarn thread and add 17 knots to it. Put sandalwood and kumkum on that thread and place it in front of mother Annapurna's photo and offer 10 durva and 10 akshat. Read the story of Annapurna Devi. Then, apologize to the mother for your mistake and pray for your grace on the family. Then tie the yarn on the left hand wrist of the women on the right hand of the men of the house. Donate food to a poor man after worship.
 
Here's the story:-
