The best tips for inviting the Goddess Lakshmi into your home at the start of Diwali
Download Article
Lakshmi Puja is one of the most important and vibrant rituals performed during the festival of Diwali. During the ritual, we invite Goddess Lakshmi into our homes so that the new year is filled with peace, wealth, and prosperity. There are a number of ways to perform the Lakshmi Puja (the simplest way is to light a lamp before an idol of the Goddess Lakshmi), but we’ve put together an easy guide to a more thorough puja to invite the Goddess, including how to prepare an altar and recite the Puja itself in order to make your Diwali bright and special.
Things You Should Know
- Clean and decorate your home with marigolds and leaves on the morning of Diwali in order to make it appealing to Goddess Lakshmi.
- Construct an altar after sunset with a clean red cloth, a kalash, idols of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, and your preferred offerings.
- Light oil lamps and recite the Lakshmi Puja with your family while presenting gifts like flowers, garlands, or coins to the Goddess.
