Diwali 2024 is an opportunity for people to seek the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Devotees also worship Lord Ganesh for wisdom and remove obstacles from their lives.
Homes are cleaned and decorated with lamps, rangolis, and flowers to welcome prosperity. Devotees perform specific rituals for each day. The most significant day, Lakshmi Puja, is celebrated by offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi, symbolizing fortune and abundance.
The pujan samagri (materials) includes idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh, roli, kumkum, akshat, incense sticks, and lamps, among others. During the pujan vidhi, the idols are placed on a clean platform, and the worship begins by invoking Lord Ganesh. After offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi, devotees perform the aarti and distribute prasad to family and friends.
This Diwali, as always, symbolizes hope, unity, and prosperity, illuminating hearts and homes across India and beyond.
