Appeasing Goddess Lakshmi On Bhadrapada Amavasya:


On the Friday before Bhadrapada Amavasya, prepare a small heap of rice and place an idol of Goddess Lakshmi on it. Offer a single grain of rice to the goddess every day and perform worship. On Bhadrapada Amavasya, scatter the rice under the idol for the birds to eat. This is believed to pave the way for financial gains. On the Friday of the Shukla Paksha following Amavasya, prepare kheer as an offering to Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that this practice ensures that Goddess Lakshmi resides in the home, bringing an end to financial difficulties and ensuring that ancestors are pleased.
