Sarkar told, at the beginning of the celebration all people present should do collective Iishvara Prańidhána. Then the birthday person will receive blessings and the ''tilaka'' mark (sandal paste, kumkum, etc.) from elderly people; and accept salutations, garlands and sandal paste from his juniors.
