Question

Which side should I worship Saraswati: east, west, north or south?

Community Answer

The northern corner of your house is related to wealth, and Lakshmi puja should be done in that direction. The idol of Lord Ganesh should be placed on the left side of Goddess Lakshmi, while Goddess Saraswati should be placed on the right side.

Question

When or on what days should we honor Saraswati?

Shushwi

Community Answer

There is a day designated for honoring Goddess Saraswati and pay your obeisance. It falls either in late January or early February and thus would be the best day to celebrate Saraswati Puja. However, one can always offer obeisance to Goddess Saraswati every day.

Question

What to do with the kalash and coconut after puja?

Community Answer

Put it in front of god. Don't take it until the next morning. Then, remove that the day after and set a new one but not the coconut, just the kalash.
