Lakshmi Pujan

Lakshmi Pujan – Worship of the Goddess of Wealth

Lakshmi Pujan is one of the most important rituals observed during Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. It is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the divine source of wealth, prosperity, and well-being. Celebrated on the Amavasya (new moon) of the Kartik month, this day marks the spiritual and financial renewal of homes and businesses alike.

Let the Light In
Lakshmi Pujan is not just about rituals; it is about invoking inner light, gratitude, and abundance. As diyas illuminate your home this Diwali, may your life shine with peace, success, and prosperity.

When is Lakshmi Pujan Celebrated?

Lakshmi Pujan is performed on the third day of Diwali, a festival of lights celebrated across India. This auspicious day usually falls in October or November, based on the lunar calendar. It coincides with the new moon night (Amavasya) — the darkest night of the month — symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and prosperity over scarcity. On this day, homes are illuminated with countless diyas, and Goddess Lakshmi is welcomed with devotion, joy, and gratitude.

Why is Lakshmi Pujan Important?

Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and abundance, is believed to grace homes that are clean, well-lit, and filled with devotion.

Performing Lakshmi Pujan is a sacred way to:

Invite divine blessings for wealth, prosperity, and good fortune.

Begin new financial records and business accounts on an auspicious note.

Spiritually cleanse the home, removing negativity and setting the tone for a prosperous year ahead.

By offering prayers, lighting diyas, and filling the home with joy, devotees create an atmosphere where Goddess Lakshmi feels welcomed to stay and bless the household.

What Do Others Think?

"Gold Star Service from one of the loveliest humans you could meet"”

"As an educator and retreat leader, Aru was instrumental in organising activities for my group of yoga ladies to take part in. She hosted a cookery class from her kitchen and we all sat around her table and ate the Indian feast. We all had our Ayurvedic doshas diagnosed and had some amazing treatments too. Highly recommended "

Emma Newham - Retreat Leader, UK

"Feel like a new woman after my Ayurvedic cleansing treatments""

"During my stay in Rishikesh, I was fortunate to discover the Ayurvedic treatments that are on offer at Aru's place. I felt like a new woman by the end of my stay, having indulged in the Panchakarma cleansing practices on a daily basis. Highly recommended"

Ms K Mumby - Counsellor, UK

"Aru is an excellent host and her home cooked food is delicious."

"It's not often you get a personal invitation to spend time in another persons home while on holiday. Aru's food is the real deal - genuine Indian authentic cooking. A feast was prepared on a thali tray for dinner that was so good, I returned for a traditional Indian breakfast the following morning"

Mr M Conroy - Tourist, UK

”Aru is the most warm, friendly and welcoming host I've had the pleasure to meet"

"I met Aru at the Sivananda ashram in Kerala, where she helped me adapt to the Indian way of life in the ashram. She has helped me both personally and professionally in so many ways and treated me like family. She's a very caring and approachable lady and is a brilliant home maker, who will go the extra mile to help"

Ms A Seager - Student, UK

"A fabulous Henna beauty party for me and my friends" "

"Myself and a group of friends wanted our last night in India to be special, so we had some Indian suits made and purchased some jewellery. Aru arranged a Henna party and we all had Henna designs tatooed onto our hands and feet at Aru's place. It was absolutely amazing."
