Lakshmi Puja

Laxmi Puja is an extremely important and auspicious festival in the Sanatan tradition, celebrated with great enthusiasm and faith on the day of Diwali. This special worship is dedicated to Goddess Laxmi, the deity of wealth, prosperity, and happiness, who is revered in every household. With the grace of Goddess Laxmi, abundance and peace dwell in life. Therefore, on the night of Diwali, special rituals and prayers are performed in homes to invoke and please Goddess Laxmi.

Goddess Laxmi is considered the deity of wealth. It is through her blessings that a family experiences the arrival of wealth and prosperity. According to mythological beliefs, Goddess Laxmi was born from the churning of the ocean, along with nectar and other precious gems. This is why the night of Diwali, also known as the night of 'Amavasya,' is regarded as extremely auspicious for the worship of Goddess Laxmi. This night is filled with darkness, and Goddess Laxmi is considered the goddess of light, who dispels darkness and brings brightness and prosperity.
