All in all, Diwali is a popular festival celebrated by a vast number of people every single year. The festival has come a long way, and it has remained loved and cherished amongst all of its followers.

Lunar Phase:

Diwali has a new moon, which signifies the start of new things. A new moon is considered a strong time for intentions and, therefore, brings plenty of abundance.

Lakshmi Puja Timings

As per Hindu Panchang, Diwali is on November 01, 2024, and the suitable time would be between 5:36 PM and 6:16 PM. This time is also special as it lies in the Pradosh Kaal, which is a very good time to pray for the goddess Lakshmi.


Extended Pooja Timings:

However, if you so wish, you can also carry out the puja until 7:30 PM. This time allows for proper puja and lighting of the diyas, which signify that darkness is being removed and the energy from God is being brought to the home.

Lakshmi Puja Vidhi

Clean your Surroundings: First of all, make sure that your house is in decent condition, as you will be hosting the Goddess Lakshmi in the form of prayers.


Make a Shiring Room: A small altar with images or idols of Lakshmi and offerings of flowers, sweets, and coins can now be placed.


Lighting Diyas: Diyas (lamps) should be lit during pujas when needs arise. These lamps are also linked with security since they are assumed to bring good energy and light to every corner of the illumination.


Recite Mantras: Chanting the Lakshmi Ashtakshara Mantra several times during the puja helps multiply the energies of your resolutions.


Distribute Sweets: After puja, distributing sweets among family and friends is a gesture that promotes sociality and cheerfulness, which are associated with the occasion of Diwali.


According to the indications of the planets, this Diwali year is expected to be more fruitful and have growth potential. The phase of these two planets can further improve your financial standing and bring joy to relationships. It is the best time to begin a business, make investments, or show gratitude.


Conclusion

Diwali will be celebrated on November 01, 2024. Practicing the puja at the right date and time, as prescribed above, and following the principles of astrology can enhance the energy of the occasion. Let the auspicious occasion of Diwali bring happiness, wealth, and, above all, new beginnings into your life!
