❓ Prashnottari

In Ekadashi Udyapan, there is a provision to systematically honor Brahmins and offer them various clothes, worship materials, and useful items. The foreheads of the Brahmins should be adorned with sandalwood paste fragrant with saffron and camphor, and they should be honored with dhotis, shawls, side-pocket tunics (Bagalbandi), towels, and seating mats. Similarly, Brahmin women should be adorned with sandalwood paste, dhotis, veils, blouses, and Suhag items, alongside gifting gold ornaments as per one's capacity.

Additionally, Brahmins should be decorated with fragrant flower garlands and offered Tulsi garlands, Gaumukhi, sandalwood, sacred threads, holy books like the Gita and Bhagavata, wooden sandals or shoes, copper vessels, and umbrellas. The copper vessel should be large enough to satisfy the thirst of at least one person. Along with all these items, there is a provision to satisfy the Brahmins by offering maximum possible Dakshina according to one's capacity.
