Diwali Lakshmi Puja Vidhi — Step by Step

Step 1: Clean and Decorate Your Home

Begin with a thorough cleaning of your home. Lakshmi enters clean, well-lit, and welcoming homes. Decorate with rangoli at the entrance, hang marigold torans on the door, and place diyas at the doorstep, windows, and puja room.

Step 2: Place Lakshmi Charan Paduka

Place Lakshmi Charan Paduka stickers from the main entrance to the puja room — symbolising Maa Lakshmi walking into your home.

Step 3: Set Up the Puja Sthal

Place a red cloth on a clean chowki. Place the Lakshmi-Ganesha idol in the centre. Arrange the Copper Kalash to the right, filled with water, mango leaves, coconut, and coins. Place Kamal Gatta, Panchmeva, and offerings around the idol.

Step 4: Invoke Ganesha First

Always begin with Ganesha puja. Offer Akshat, Roli, Chandan, and flowers while chanting "Om Gan Ganapataye Namah."

Step 5: Lakshmi Puja

Offer flowers, roli, chandan and vegetarian naivedya according to your family tradition. Kamal gatta, panchmeva, batashe and kheel are customary in some households, not compulsory everywhere. Light a diya for the puja and keep it attended on a stable, fire-safe surface. Use clean, food-safe water for edible preparations.

Step 6: Read the Lakshmi Puja Katha

Download the Maha Lakshmi Vrat Katha eBook (₹49) — complete katha, vidhi, mantras, and aarti in Hindi and English.

Step 7: Perform the Aarti

Perform Lakshmi Aarti (Om Jai Lakshmi Mata) and Ganesh Aarti with lit Bhimseni Kapoor. Ring the puja bell and sing the aarti aloud.

Step 8: Distribute Prasad

Distribute Batashe, Kheel, Panchmeva, and fruits as prasad to all family members.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important item in Diwali puja samagri?

Kamal gatta, batashe and kheel are traditional offerings in some regions. They are optional according to family practice. An overnight akhand diya is not indispensable for every home; never leave an open flame unattended or burn it while everyone sleeps.

Can I perform Lakshmi puja without a pandit?

Yes — with the correct vidhi. Our Maha Lakshmi Vrat Katha eBook gives you everything you need.

What direction should the Lakshmi idol face?

The Lakshmi idol should face East or North. You should face East while performing the puja.

Can I book a Diwali puja online?

Yes — book Lakshmi Puja online and expert Vedic pandits will perform it with full vidhi and sankalp in your name.
