Preparations for Lakshmi Pujan 2025

Cleaning the House

Goddess Lakshmi only enters a clean and sacred home. Therefore, it is very important to thoroughly clean the house before Diwali. Every corner of the house should be free of dust and dirt. Doors and windows should be washed and decorated so that the environment becomes pure and attractive. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides permanently in a clean house.

Decoration

The house is decorated not only with rangoli, diyas, and flowers, but also with torans, garlands, and lanterns. Creating a beautiful rangoli at the entrance and placing diyas around it is considered auspicious. Rows of diyas, electric lights, and fragrant incense sticks make the environment divine and holy.

Preparing the Altar (Chowki)

Place idols of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on a chowki covered with red or yellow cloth. First, bathe the idols with pure water and Ganga jal, then dress them in new clothes. Adorn them with flower garlands, ornaments, cosmetic items, and fragrant sandalwood paste. Draw a Swastika with rice grains (akshat) and roli on the chowki, which is considered highly auspicious.

Ganapati Sthapana

On a betel leaf, place turmeric root, betel nut, dried dates, almonds, some rice grains, durva grass, and turmeric-kumkum. Then place the idol of Lord Ganesha on it.

Kalash Sthapana

Fill a kalash with water, betel nut, coins, betel leaves, or mango leaves, and place a coconut on top. Tie the kalash with a sacred thread (mouli), as this is considered highly auspicious.

Butale and Batase

According to tradition, five butale (small earthen pots) are taken for Lakshmi Puja. These are filled with puffed rice (lai/khil). A sugar drop (batasha) is placed on top of each pot, and they are arranged in front of the kalash and idols at the puja place. During the puja, these are offered to the deities along with flowers, rice, and water while chanting mantras. After the puja, these butale and batase are distributed as prasad among family members, children, and guests. It is believed that consuming this prasad brings prosperity, good fortune, and lasting happiness in the family.

Fruits

During puja, fruits like pomegranate, apple, banana, and coconut are offered in front of the kalash and idols. These symbolize prosperity and health.

Sweets and Dry Fruits

Sweets, fox nuts (makhana), and dry fruits are also offered during puja. These are first offered to Goddess Lakshmi as bhog and then distributed as prasad.

After the Puja

The butale, batase, fruits, and sweets offered during puja are distributed as prasad among everyone, symbolizing the sharing of prosperity, good fortune, and happiness in society and family.

Sankalp (Resolution)

Before beginning the puja, sit on a clean seat and take a vow (sankalp) to perform the puja with complete devotion and rules. Hold rice grains, flowers, and water in your right hand and recite the sankalp mantra, expressing the desire for Goddess Lakshmi to reside permanently in your home.

Ganesha Puja

First, worship Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Bathe him, and offer sindoor, durva grass, modak, and flowers. No auspicious work is considered complete without Ganesha Puja.

Worship of Goddess Lakshmi

Bathe Goddess Lakshmi first with Ganga jal and Panchamrit, then dress her in clean clothes.
Offer roli, turmeric, rice grains, flowers, and fragrant sandalwood paste.
Light diyas, incense sticks, and camphor, and perform aarti.

Offer the butale and batase in front of the idols and distribute them as prasad.

Kubera Puja

Light a diya in front of the idol or picture of Lord Kubera, the God of wealth, and offer rice grains and flowers. It is believed that worshipping Kubera along with Goddess Lakshmi enhances wealth and strengthens the financial condition of the household.

Mantra Japa and Aarti

Chant the mantra “Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah” 108 times, as it is considered highly auspicious. Finally, perform the aarti of Goddess Lakshmi with the entire family and accept the prasad, marking the completion of the puja.

Significance of Lakshmi Pujan 2025

This day is considered a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and abundance. Worshipping Goddess Lakshmi on this festival not only brings financial prosperity but also increases love and unity in the family.

It is believed that performing the puja with full devotion ensures that Goddess Lakshmi resides permanently in the house, freeing the family from poverty and blessing them with happiness and prosperity. Faith and devotion during puja also infuse positive energy and confidence in life.

Traders start their new account books on this day, which is known as Chopda Puja. This symbolizes the hope that the coming year will bring growth in business and trade. Farmers also offer their crops and grains to seek the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

Lighting diyas dispels negative energy and fills the home with positivity. The light of the lamps removes darkness and ignorance, symbolizing knowledge and prosperity. On this night, rows of diyas are lit in every household, making the atmosphere divine and sacred.

Things to Keep in Mind During Lakshmi Pujan 2025

Performing the puja during Pradosh Kaal is considered most auspicious. Pradosh Kaal is the time when the environment is filled with spiritual energy and divine blessings are easily received. Performing puja at this time is believed to yield multiplied results.

Lighting a diya at the main entrance of the house is very important, as it is believed to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. The diya at the door allows positive energy to enter the house and keeps negative forces away.

All family members should be present during the puja. Collective worship not only strengthens family bonds but also increases the power of the puja. From children to elders, everyone’s participation is considered auspicious.

Conclusion

Lakshmi Puja is not just a religious ritual but a tradition deeply rooted in Indian culture. This tradition has been followed for thousands of years and represents a blend of devotion, faith, and spiritual energy. Performing Lakshmi Puja on Diwali night is not only about seeking wealth and prosperity but also about inviting peace, harmony, and positive energy into the family.

The true significance of this puja goes beyond material wealth—it inspires us to maintain balance, harmony, and morality in life.
