In modern times some vestige of this Navayajña (sacrifice of first fruits) still remains. The full moon day of Āśvina is still called in the Deccan 'navyācī paurṇimā' and a few ears of growing crops are picked up, are woven with flowers and tastefully arranged and the whole is suspended from the entrance door or its lintel.
