Vel with different sizes like 1 foot, half feet, or even smaller than that can be worshipped. Vel can be made of Silver, Brass, Copper, Pancha loham or Karungali (Ebony).
After revceiving Karungali Vel, first wash once with raw milk, then wash it once with pure water, allow it to dry well then wipe it with a clean cloth. At an auspicious time place the Vel in a heap of Vibuthi (Nattu Mattu Thiruneeru/Desi Cow Dung Bhasma) or Raw Rice in a Brass or Copper Pot/Plate in the Pooja Room and insert the Vel in a standing position.
