Laxmi Puja is all about welcoming the goddess of wealth, happiness, and good fortune into your home. Goddess Laxmi is known for granting the blessings of prosperity, perseverance, and liberation. She is a symbol of everything beautiful. This Tihar, why not welcome her with a warm and heartfelt celebration?

Start by giving everything a good cleaning! A tidy space signifies purity and invites positive energy. Next, decorate your home with vibrant flowers, lights, and rangoli to make it look welcoming. And if you can, consider buying something new for your home – it symbolizes the arrival of abundance with Laxmi’s blessings.

Here are five offerings that will make your Laxmi Puja complete.

Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers like marigolds, roses, and lotuses are wonderful to offer. They not only add fragrance but also bring a touch of nature and vibrancy to the ritual. Arrange these around the sacred space and the rangoli to make a stunning, colorful display. Fresh flowers are believed to please Goddess Laxmi and symbolize new beginnings.

Homemade Sweets

Sweets are a beloved offering that represents the sweetness and joy of life. Homemade treats, like laddoos or barfi, are ideal, but if time is short, shop-bought sweets can also work! Place them in a lovely dish and offer them with gratitude.

Lighting Diyas

Diyas (lamps) are essential for Laxmi Puja. Lighting them fills the home with warmth, drives away darkness, and attracts positive energy. Each diya represents a prayer for prosperity and joy, making it a beautiful ritual in itself. Place diyas around your home, especially near doors and windows.

Rice or Grains

Offering rice or grains symbolizes sustenance and abundance. It shows respect for life’s essentials and represents hope for an abundance of resources. Place them in a small bowl near your altar.

Fruits

Fresh fruits signify life, growth, and gratitude for nature’s bounty. Apples, bananas, and oranges are ideal choices. Fruits are believed to bring Goddess Laxmi’s blessings and symbolize a life filled with prosperity.

Remember, more than material offerings, kindness and a generous spirit make this festival special. This Laxmi Puja, celebrate with love, laughter, and acts of kindness!
