Diwali Lakshmi Puja

Diwali, or Deepavali, is not just a festival of lights, sweets, and gifts; it is a sacred celebration that brings families together in the spirit of devotion and prosperity. As someone who has performed Diwali Puja for years, I truly believe that this festival is about cleansing our homes and souls to invite divine blessings from Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. In this article, I will share a complete Diwali Puja Vidhi, mantras, and how you can set up a divine and soulful celebration at your home.

✨ Why We Celebrate Diwali?

Diwali marks the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. Spiritually, it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune, visits clean, well-lit homes on this night. It is also the night Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. So, we light diyas and do puja to welcome divine energy and positive vibrations into our lives.

    ॐ गं गणपतये नमः॥
    Om Gam Ganapataye Namah॥
  

    ॐ श्रीं महालक्ष्म्यै नमः॥
    Om Shreem MahaLakshmyai Namah॥
  

    जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता।
    तुम्हें निसदिन सेवत, हर विष्णु विधाता॥
  

Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated with great enthusiasm across India. The Diwali Puja is performed to seek blessings from Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha for prosperity, wealth, and good fortune. This Katha (story) is recited during the puja to invoke divine blessings.

Preparation for Puja

Before beginning the puja, clean your home and puja area. Place idols or pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on a clean platform. Prepare offerings including flowers, fruits, sweets (especially ladoos), incense, diyas (oil lamps), and a kalash (sacred pot).
