Laxmi Pujan — Inviting Goddess Laxmi into Your Life

The Celebration of Wealth, Wisdom, and Well-Being

Wherever there is gratitude, Lakshmi finds a home.

Laxmi Pujan, celebrated on the third day of Diwali, is one of the most important rituals of the festival. This day is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and abundance. Her blessings bring material wealth, spiritual richness, health, and happiness. On this particular night, people perform elaborate pujas, and light oil lamps and express gratitude for their blessings over the past year.

Laxmi Pujan is more than just about worship — it is an opportunity to reflect on our lives, invite positive energy, and foster a mindset of abundance through hard work, gratitude, and harmony. Homes are cleaned and decorated, new beginnings are marked with fresh accounts or investments, and families come together to invoke the divine blessings of the goddess. This celebration goes beyond rituals, reminding us of how prosperity flows when gratitude, effort, and positive intentions align.

The roots of Laxmi Pujan can be traced to several fascinating myths and traditions, all of which revolve around the manifestation of wealth, knowledge, and well-being. Two prominent stories stand out.
