If you also wish that this Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi permanently resides in your home, there are certain tasks that you should complete before Diwali. It is believed that these actions please Goddess Lakshmi and help dispel poverty. Let's delve into these practices:

Keep your home thoroughly organized because Goddess Lakshmi is said to never visit a disorganized home.
• Three days before Diwali, start this practice. For this, mix honey with a little raw milk and divide it into two portions. Add one portion to the water used by the family members for bathing, while using the other portion to cleanse every area of the house. According to beliefs, this practice dispels negative energy, and on Diwali day, it invites wealth and prosperity.

• Goddess Lakshmi is considered to be the embodiment of wealth, prosperity, luck, and riches. The lotus symbol on her feet holds special significance. It is believed that by worshipping the lotus symbol at her feet, one can especially attain wealth and prosperity.

This is believed to invite the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
