Worshipping the goddess of wealth and success, Laxmi Puja, is a crucial component of Diwali festivities. An important factor in Laxmi Puja scheduling is that it changes annually according to the lunar calendar.
Since the Laxmi Puja Muhurat occurs in the evening of 2023, it will play a big role in the celebrations around Diwali 2023. To welcome the goddess Laxmi into their homes, devotees clean their houses, make beautiful rangoli designs at their doorsteps, and light oil lamps.
Worshipping Laxmi on Diwali is said to bestow wealth and success upon one’s household and business.
