What is Diwali Lakshmi Puja?
Diwali Lakshmi Puja is the worship of Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Ganesha and Kubera on the Amavasya of Kartik (Ashvija) in the pradosh kaal, for wealth and prosperity — at homes, shops and offices, including Chopda (account book) pujan.
Lakshmi is believed to visit clean, lit homes on Diwali night. The puja is done in pradosh kaal in a sthir (fixed) lagna — usually Vrishabha — so that wealth stays. Businesses worship new account books, cash boxes and scales on the same evening.
