Upaayana daanam:

It is important to honour the priest who conducts the pooja, after the pooja, by offering him thamboolam, prasadam & dakshina. If you are doing the pooja on your own, set it aside to be given to any elderly person later.
Put a spoon of water on the thamboolam, chanting


Varalakshmee swaroopasya braahmanasya idamaasanam sakalaaraadhanaih svarchitham


Offer the thamboolam chanting

Hiranyagarbha garbhastham haema bheejam vibhaavasoh


Anantha punya phaladam athah s(h)aanthim prayachchamae

Do namaskarams chanting
