“Devanaam cha rishinaam cha gurum kaanchan sannibhaam buddhi bhootam trilokesham tam namaami brihaspatim”

The idol of the Jupiter should be made using gold (or in golden color). Jupiter should be perceived duly attired in yellow. Having four arms holding staff, Aksha sutra, Kamandal and the fourth hand in a state of blessing posture.

Jupiter (Guru) should be worshipped with the flowers and clothes of the colors of the idol and with fragrance, sticks, deepa, giving oblations, Dhupa, Guggul, etc. The metal of the idol of the planet and the food dear to him as signified by the planet are donated in charity with full devoutness for the alleviation of the affliction.

Maharishi Parashara said that the Mantra of Jupiter should be recited nineteen thousand times. 

The type of wood to be used for Havan of Jupiter is Pipala. The Havana Samagri duly mixed with honey, ghee, curd or milk is offered as oblations into the sacred fire and amidst chanting of the Mantras for 108 or 28 times, the Havana should be performed.

After that Brahmins should be fed. Curd rice is a must for remedy of Jupiter. After the worship Dakshina should be given as per shraddha of yajmana (person performing the Havan) and satisfaction of Brahmins.
