You start in the same manner as you left the Lord at the end of the previous Mansi Pooja.

• Perform Sandhyaa aarti, dandvat, prarthna etc.
• Request the Lord to accept the evening meal. He mercifully succumbs to your wishes and allows you to take Him to the dining room
• Seat the Lord on a comfortable seat
• Offer food suitable for eating during the evening
• Rinse out His mouth and offer mukhvaas etc.
• Take the Lord back to the sabha and seat Him on Shree Swaminarayan Gadi
• Remain in His service until the next Mansi Pooja
