1) First blowing the conchshell three times outside of the deity room

2) Then offering dhupa incense (three sticks).

3) Then offer an ekadipa with karpura (one large ghee wick with camphor)

4) Then pancha pradipa. Five ghee wicks

5) Then a small conchshell with water.

6) Then a handkerchief.

    Hare Krishna Prabhu,
    Thanks for the guidance. Please provide details for the following:
    1) Mantra to be chanted while offereing each item.
    2) Number of times each item is offered.

    In many ISKCON temples, camara is offered before peacock feather. Here in the article, offering of peacock feather comes before camara. Please elaborate on this also.

    Hare Krishna
