Lakshmi was reborn during the Churning of the Ocean. As soon as the gods saw Lakshmi, they all fell in love with her beauty. Shiva claimed Lakshmi as his wife, but since he had already taken the Moon, her hand was given to Vishnu, whom Lakshmi herself preferred.<\/p>\n<p>Lakshmi is the goddess of light, beauty, good fortune and wealth. While Laxmi is generally worshiped to achieve success, she does not reside long with anyone who is lazy or desire her only as wealth.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"helpie-sp-1\">Diwali Puja Muhurat 2022<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Diwali, Laxmi Puja is of great significance and so do it\u2019s Mahurat to begin with. Laxmi Puja on Diwali should be done during Pradosh Kaal that begins with sunset and last for 1 hours and 3 minutes approximately. Many sources also propose Mahanishita Kaal for performing Laxmi Puja. It is one of the best times for Tantrik community and practicing Pandits who are well versed about performing Laxmi Pooja during this period. However for common people Pradosh Kaal Muhurat is the much preferred time to conduct Laxmi Puja.<\/p>\n<div><b class=\"font-big\">Diwali Shubh Muhurat 2022 Date and Timing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Amavasya Tithi Begins =\u00a0<b>05:27 AM on Oct 24, 2022<\/b><br \/>Amavasya Tithi Ends =\u00a0<b>04:18 PM on Oct 25, 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b class=\"font-big\">Pradosh Kaal Muhurat<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lakshmi Puja Muhurat from:\u00a0<b>07:25 PM to 08:28 PM, Oct 24<\/b><br \/>Duration =\u00a0<b>1 Hour 3 Mins<\/b><br \/>Pradosh Kaal from:\u00a0<b>06:03 PM to 08:28 PM<\/b><br \/>Vrishabha Kaal from:\u00a0<b>07:25 PM to 09:29 PM<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b class=\"font-big\">Mahanishita Kaal Muhurat<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lakshmi Puja Muhurat =\u00a0<b>11:42 PM to 12:31 AM, Oct 25<\/b><br \/>Duration =\u00a0<b>0 Hour 49 Minute<\/b><br \/>Mahanishita Kaal from:\u00a0<b>11:42 PM to 12:31 AM, Oct 25<\/b><br \/>Simha Kaal from:\u00a0<b>01:46 AM to 03:45 AM, Oct 25<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b class=\"font-big\">Choghadiya Puja Muhurat<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Early Morning Muhurta (Shubh):\u00a0<b>06:12 AM to 07:40 AM<\/b><br \/>Night Muhurta (Labh):<b>12:06 AM to 01:37 AM, Oct 25<\/b><br \/>Afternoon Muhurat (Subh):\u00a0<b>04:31 PM to 06:00 PM<\/b><br \/>Evening Muhurat (Subh, Amrit, Char):\u00a0<b>06:00 PM to 09:03 PM<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Steps of Lakshmi Pooja<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Spread a new cloth on a raised platform:<\/b>\u00a0Place a handful of grains in the center and, on this, place a kalash (pitcher) made of gold, silver, copper, or terracotta. Fill three-fourth of the kalash with water and place a betel nut, a flower, a coin, and some rice grains in it. Arrange five kinds of leaves or mango leaves in the kalash. Place a small dish on the kalash and fill it with rice grains. Draw a lotus with turmeric powder ( haldi ) over the rice grains and place the idol of goddess Lakshmi over it, along with coins.<\/p>\n<p><b>Place the idol of Ganesha:<\/b>\u00a0In front of the kalash, on the right (South-West direction), place the idol of Ganesha. Also place ink and books related to your business or occupation on the platform. Light a lamp and begin the puja by offering haldi, kumkum, and flowers to the platform on which the kalash is placed. Then offer haldi, kumkum, and flowers to the water that is to be used for the puja. Invoke the river goddesses to be part of this water.<\/p>\n<p><b>Invoke goddess:<\/b>\u00a0Lakshmi by reciting the Vedic mantras addressed to her. One can also recite the mantras mentioned in the Puranas or simply take some flowers in your hands, close your eyes, and think of goddess Lakshmi being showered with gold coins by two elephants standing on either side of Her and chant Her name. Then offer the flowers to the idol.<\/p>\n<p><b>Place the idol of Lakshmi:<\/b>\u00a0Place the idol of Lakshmi in a plate and bathe it with water, panchamrit (a mixture of milk, curd, ghee or clarified butter, honey, and sugar) and then with water containing some gold ornament or a pearl. Wipe the idol clean and place it back on the kalash. Alternately, you can just sprinkle water and panchamrit on the idol with a flower.<\/p>\n<p><b>Offerings:<\/b>\u00a0Offer sandal paste, saffron paste,\u00a0<b>perfume ( itr )<\/b>, haldi, kumkum, abeer, and gulal to the goddess. Offer a garland of cotton beads to the goddess. Offer flowers, especially the marigold flowers and leaves of Bel (wood apple tree). Light an incense stick and dhoop. Make an offering of sweets, coconut, fruits, and tambul. Make an offering of puffed rice and batasha. Pour some puffed rice, batasha, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds over the idol. Safe where you keep money and jewelry; Worship this safe as a symbol of Lord Kuber.<\/p>\n<p><b>Aarti:<\/b>\u00a0Finally, perform the aarti for goddess Lakshmi. Always remember that She abhors loud noise. So the aarti should be accompanied only by a small bell. Do not clap hands, as is the practice when performing aarti for other gods. A peaceful and sublime atmosphere should prevail during the diwali day pujan. Do not light crackers while the puja is on or immediately after it.<\/p>\n<p>Source: httpss:\/\/www.diwalifestival.org\/lakshmi-pooja.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakshmi was the daughter of the sage Bhrigu and took refuge in the ocean of milk when the gods were sent into exile.
