Lakshmi Puja at Home During Diwali

The video explains a simple home procedure for performing Lakshmi Puja during Diwali. It emphasizes cleaning and decorating the home, worshipping Lord Ganesha first, and praying to Goddess Lakshmi for happiness, health, peace, and prosperity.

Materials

• Idols or pictures of Shri Ganesha and Shri Mahalakshmi
• Red or yellow cloth; turmeric, kumkum, rice (akshata), sandalwood, flowers, garlands, durva, and tulsi
• A lamp with oil or ghee, incense, and camphor
• A Kalash or water vessel, water, mango leaves, a coconut, betel nuts, and betel leaves
• Fruits, sweets, milk, curd, honey, ghee, and sugar for Panchamrut
• Coins, banknotes, household jewellery, keys, or business and household account books
• Rangoli and Diwali lamps

Puja Steps

1. Clean the house and decorate the shrine or worship area. Spread a clean red or yellow cloth and place the Ganesha and Lakshmi idols or pictures on it.
2. Prepare and worship the Kalash. Fill it with water and add items such as coins, betel nuts, and flowers. Place mango leaves and a coconut on top, then apply turmeric and kumkum.
3. Light a lamp and incense. Begin by remembering and worshipping Lord Ganesha.
4. Offer Ganesha clean water, followed by Panchamrut made from milk, curd, ghee, honey, and sugar. Rinse and dry the idol, then offer rice, incense, turmeric, kumkum, flowers, and durva.
5. Worship Mahalakshmi in a similar way with water and Panchamrut, then rinse and gently dry the idol. If there is no Lakshmi idol, the video says a betel nut may be used as a substitute.
6. Place the Lakshmi idol on rice or a lotus design. Offer cloth, rice, sandalwood, turmeric, flowers, and a garland.
7. Make a resolution for the puja by holding water, rice, and a flower, and stating its purpose and prayers for the family. Chant “Om Shri Mahalakshmyai Namah” 11 or 21 times, then offer flowers and rice.
8. Place money, jewellery, keys, and account books before Lakshmi. Worship Kubera as well, asking for wealth earned honestly and the wisdom to use it responsibly. A betel nut may be used if a Kubera yantra is unavailable.
9. The video also describes worshipping a new broom, traditionally associated with keeping the home clean.
10. Offer the prepared food, pray for love, harmony, contentment, virtue, and health, then perform the aarti with an oil or ghee lamp. Conclude by paying respects to the deities.
