Navānnavidhāna proceeds as follows: The ceremony of new grains is to take place when the fresh crops are ready. Listening to vocal and instrumental music, recitation of Vedic texts, worship of gods, manes, Brahmā, Ananta and guardians of the quarters, and making of gifts of rice and preparations of other grains to the Brāhmaṇas, the servants and the relatives are prescribed on this day.
