Diwali Puja Samagri

• Pot/Kalash
• Aam Patta/Mango leaves
• Idol or picture of Goddess Lakshmi
• Milk and curd
• Honey
• Ghee
• Puffed rice
• Sweets/Mithai
• Coriander seeds
• Cumin seeds
• The first step is to spread out a clean cloth where you wish to perform the puja, and create a bed of rice on it. Now, place the Kalash on the bed of rice.
• Pour water into the Kalash. Place a betel nut, flowers, a coin, and some rice inside, and arrange the aam patta around the opening. Also, place a thali on the Kalash. This is where Goddess Lakshmi will sit.
• You can decorate the thali by painting a lotus with turmeric powder and placing coins on it.
• Lord Ganesha usually sits on the right of the Kalash. You can also place the idols of Saraswathi alongside as this completes the three forms of Shakti – Lakshmi, Saraswathi, and Durga.
• Sprinkle gangajal (or clean water) on all the items. It is important to keep the atmosphere clean and well-lit with lamps.
• You can now recite the mantras for invoking Goddess Lakshmi. These are available in puja books or online and may vary based on your native tongue.
• Make offerings of flowers, rice, garlands of marigolds, coconut, fruits, sweets, betel nuts, sandalwood paste, kumkum, and incense sticks during the puja.
• At the end of the puja, recite the Diwali puja aarti with the entire family and distribute the prasad.

Kuber Puja on Diwali: Apart from Laxmi and Ganesh, Lord Kubera, or the treasurer of Gods, is also worshipped on Diwali. For Kuber puja, worship the locker or safe in which you keep gold and cash at home.

Now that you are all set for the Diwali puja, it is a good idea to start cleaning your home right away. This is a time-consuming process as you might feel the need to renovate and repair as well. Then, go shopping for the items required for the Diwali puja, and don’t forget to get lots of tasty mithai!

Om Shree Mahalakshmyai Cha Vidmahe Vishnu Patnyai Cha Dheemahi,
