A lemon sacrifice offered as a remedy — cut into four pieces and thrown in four directions for body-cleansing or crossroads rites, or offered whole via mantra when given directly to a deity.

What are the five symbolic lemon sacrifices required for a home Mahishasura Mardini idol?
One offering each for the Goddess, her lion vehicle Som Nandi, her two unnamed Yoginis, and Mahishasura himself — offered daily, with the one for Mahishasura given outside the house, and always under a guru's specific instruction.
What are the rules for sustaining a Nimbu Bali (lemon sacrifice) practice?
A daily Nimbu Bali after Ratri Suktam requires continuous commitment once started; if that's unsustainable, limit it to specific days like Navami, Chaturdashi, Navratri, or Tuesdays and Saturdays — daily cloves-and-camphor fumigation has no such restriction.
