Having erected a thatched shed in the tank or river so as to be associated with four entrances,
the Acharya should decorate it with rows of darbha-grass, garlands and others. Again, he
should design a sthandila on the evenly-levelled ground near the bank of the tank or river
and worship it with sandal, flowers and other materials. Having designed another sthandila
in front of the previous one, he should place eight pots over it.

The Acharya should invoke the directional deities on the pots and worship them. He should
worship the image adorned with ornaments of gold. Upon the completion of worship, he should
remove all the ornaments and cover the image with a suitable cloth, reciting the kavaca mantra.
Then, having placed a lamba-kurca designed with 32 darbhas of even length on the image,
he should safely place the image so as to be recumbent on the wooden pedestal or wooden
plank kept in the water.
