Happy Diwali 2023: Date, Time, Shubh Muhurat For Lakshmi Puja And All You Need To Know
On the day of Diwali, it is customary to wake up early in the morning, perform puja (worship) with family members, and seek blessings from ancestors and the deity.
New Delhi: Diwali is one of the biggest festivals celebrated throughout the country with great pomp and show. On a religious basis, it is believed to be the day when Lord Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, and the residents of the city welcomed him by lighting lamps. Since then, this tradition has continued.
On the day of Diwali, it is customary to wake up early in the morning, perform puja (worship) with family members, and seek blessings from ancestors and the deity. This day is considered highly auspicious for performing ancestral rites due as it is Amavasya (new moon). Diwali is particularly associated with the worship of Goddess Mahalakshmi. On this day, people worship Lord Ganesha, Goddess Mahalakshmi, Goddess Mahasaraswati, and Goddess Mahakali.
