Lakshmi Puja Special Sweets: How do I perform Lakshmi puja at home?

Lakshmi puja is a ritual performed by Hindus to worship Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. It is usually done on the day of Diwali, the festival of lights, to invite her blessings for the new year. There are different ways to perform Lakshmi puja at home, but here is a simple and common method that you can follow:

• First, you need to clean your house and decorate it with marigolds, mango leaves, and banana leaves. You can also sprinkle some Gangajal or turmeric water to purify the surroundings.
• Next, you need to set up a puja altar with a red cloth, a kalash (a pot filled with water and topped with mango leaves), idols of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, and your preferred offerings such as flowers, fruits, sweets, coins, etc.
• Then, you need to light a lamp and incense sticks and apply tilak (a mark on the forehead) to the idols and the Kalash. You can also offer some water and panchamrit (a mixture of honey, curd, milk, ghee, and sugar) to the idols.
