Distribute the jaggery as prasad among family members, and make sure to donate the remaining prasad to the needy, as it is believed to attract divine blessings.
Miraculous Remedy with Two Cloves
To seek the special blessings of Goddess Kalaratri, light a lamp with sesame or mustard oil in front of the Goddess at night on Saptami. Recite Kali Chalisa, Kali Purana, and the complete Durga Saptashati. Chant the Beej mantra “Kling Aim Shree Kalika Namah” using a red sandalwood or Rudraksha rosary, while seated on a red blanket.
After the puja, offer just two cloves to the Goddess. Once the ritual is completed, keep these cloves with you. It is said that this remedy brings extraordinary benefits in life and helps overcome obstacles.

॥ Aarti Devi Kalaratri Ji Ki ॥
Kalaratri Jai Jai Mahakali,
Kaal Ke Munh Se Bachane Wali.
Dusht Sangharak Naam Tumhara,
Mahachandi Tera Avatara.
Prithvi Aur Aakash Pe Saara,
Mahakali Hai Tera Pasaara.
Khadag Khappar Rakhne Wali,
Dushton Ka Lahoo Chakne Wali.

Na Koi Gham Na Sankat Bhaari.
Us Par Kabhi Kasht Na Aave,
Mahakali Maa Jise Bachaave.
Tu Bhi Bhakt Prem Se Kah,
Kalaratri Maa Teri Jai.
