Lakshmi PujanVidhi:

We recommend you to start Diwali Puja by finding a place in your house where you would like to do the Pujan. You can use the Mandir area in your home to perform Lakshmi Pujan.

The next step is to clean the stain with Ganga Jal (water) or running water. Spread a piece of yellow or red coloured cloth on a wooden platform. Create a small Rangoli made from rice flour.

Respectfully place the idol or photo of Goddess Lakshmi Jee on the platform. Put a handful of beads on the platform rather than the right or left of it.

The next step will be to prepare a 'Kalash' and fill it with clean water, a supari, a calendula flower, a silver coin and rice. You should also keep five mango leaves, which will be used in the Kalash. Place a whole coconut, with the coir sticking up, so that the mango leaves are partially in and partially out facing up.

Prepare a Pooja Thaali, using chaawal (placed in a pile) and with the help of Haldi(Turmeric Powder), draw lotus flower on the plate. Once your drawing is complete, gracefully place your beautiful idol on top of it. 

Why is Diwali an important festival in India?

Diwali is the festival of lights. In this auspicious festival, people try to spread the message of knowledge. People also tend to forgive each other's grudges and spread the message of unity. Therefore, we celebrate Diwali and worship Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, Lord Hanuman, Lord Vishnu Jee and Goddess Lakshmi Jee on this day.

Ancestors should be remembered to pay homage to their lineage. During ‘Pradosh Kaal’, the lights should be turned on to guide the spirits, help them ascend to heaven, and rest in peace.

The midnight celebration before Diwali should be done as it helps to eliminate poverty from the house.

The Astrological Significance of Diwali

Each festival of Hinduism has an underlying Astrological significance. On festive occasions, the placements of the celestial bodies are believed to be very much fruitful and auspicious for humanity. Diwali is a ‘SwayamSiddh Muhurt’ means golden opportunity to give a fresh start to anything from starting new tasks to buying things. According to the learned Astrologers of StarsTell.com, the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction during this period and are placed in the Libra sign, in the Vishakha Nakshatra. This nakshatra signifies a harmonious period and is an auspicious constellation linked to the Goddess of knowledge, Maa Saraswati.
