Aakhir Tak – In Depth
Diwali, one of India’s largest festivals, symbolizes the victory of good over evil. This year, Diwali falls on October 31, with a special auspicious timing for performing Lakshmi Puja to invite the goddess’s blessings. According to the Panchang, the Pradosh Kaal timing for the puja will be from 5:35 PM to 8:11 PM, allowing devotees to seek wealth and prosperity through this ritual.
For an effective Lakshmi Puja, the house should be thoroughly cleaned, and the temple should be adorned with flowers and rangoli. The idol of Goddess Lakshmi, along with Lord Ganesha, should be worshipped with items like sandalwood, flowers, and incense. To further enhance prosperity, keeping a silver elephant statue at home is considered auspicious for invoking blessings. Through lighting lamps, decorating with rangoli, and worshiping Lakshmi, Diwali symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness.
