What is Lakshmi Puja?
For Hindus worldwide, Lakshmi Puja is the most sacred religious occasion. It is performed during the third day of Diwali festival, which falls during the dark night of Amavasya. Preparations begin immediately after Dusshera. Women make sure to upkeep every corner of the home free from dust. They wash the home linens, scrub the floors and discard old belongings from the homes. Likewise, for businessmen and traders, it is the beginning of the accounting year, where old books of accounts are closed.
