Diwali Puja Vidhi to Perform Lakshmi Puja at Home
1. Clean the House
A clean house is a first step to getting started! When cleanliness is prioritized, good luck flows. During Diwali, clean your home thoroughly before performing the puja. This is one of the most pious times of the year when you can start afresh, bring in good luck and fortune, and seek blessings of the divine for the well-being of your family and friends.
2. Create the Puja Altar
Set up a small altar for the puja. You can use a picture or idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha who is worshiped before all rituals for this puja. You will need items like a Kalash - a pot filled with water, rice, coconut, betel leaves, and flowers to set it up.
3. Offer Prayers and Chant Mantras
Start the puja by lighting the lamp and incense sticks. You may offer flowers and other sweets like laddoo or kheer and fruits to the deities. Recite the Lakshmi mantra or you may simply say "Om Mahalaxmi Namah" along with these items. At the very end, recite "Lakshmi Aarti" with family.
4. Aarti
After offering Aarti to the Lord, offer the lighted diya in a circular motion in front of Goddess Lakshmi's picture or idol. Offer prasad (sweets) to everybody in the family later.
5. Coins and Money
Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth. Therefore, you may offer a few coins or currency notes during the puja as a symbol of the prosperity and good finance you are asking for.
6. Conclude the Puja
Finally, end with holy water sprinkled in your house and bless the elders of the family by touching their feet.
