Naivedya is of three kinds – daily(nitya), occasional(naimittika) and optional(kamya). In the system of worship
associated with eight aspects, naivedya should be prepared with 4, 3, 2,1, siva or adhaka of rice. In the daily
worship, havis is of nine kinds. Naivedya should not be prepared with a measure of rice below the measure
of one adhaka. Caru(cooked rice with unfiltered gruel) should be prepared with a measure of 2 prasthas. Havis,
with a measure of one adhaka. Food prepared with a measure of one prastha and one kudupa of rice is known
as ‘paisaca’.

For the images associated with visible features of form(sakala murti), naivedya should be with a measure
greater than two prasthas. Beginning with 2 adhakas and increasing the measure for nine times, the increment
being 2 adhakas each time, the measure of rice for havis is recommended for all the three kinds of Lingas.
This measure is applicable for the naimittika worship. The measure of rice for havis, in the case of optional
worship, should be according to the measure declared by the devotee in his prayer(prarthana).
