This is a common hymn dedicated to goddess Emoinu, chanted by devotees during her worshipping rituals.[7]

There are two major places in a household where the deity could be worshipped:-

• One abode is at the fireplace "Phunga Lairu" of the kitchen of the household.
• Another place is at the "Sanamahi Kachin", the South western corner of the household.

Ebendhou Emoinu is offered from the first serving of every meal prepared in a Meitei household. The serving is made by placing three servings of the cooked rice on a plate that is set aside. These offerings should be only vegetarian foods or fish.

The household members are asked to maintain discipline, be respectful, and be tidy so as to please Emoinu.

Imoinu Iratpa is observed every 12th day of the Meitei lunar month, Waakching (Dec-Jan in gregorian calendar).[9][10] On this day, especially at night, Emoinu is offered what each can, particularly fish curries as dinner for Emoinu and a variety of cuisines in odd numbers.[11]
