Lakshmi Puja is a ritual performed on Dhanteras to worship Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Here are some steps to perform Lakshmi Puja at home:
- Clean your house and the puja area. This will help to remove any negative energy and create a pure and auspicious space for the puja.
- Set up a puja altar in a clean and well-ventilated room. The altar should be facing east or north. Place idols or images of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on the altar. You can also place idols or images of other deities that you worship, such as Lord Kuber (the god of wealth) and Goddess Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge and wisdom).
