According to the Hindu calendar, Diwali in 2024 is today, on October 31, falling on the Amavasya of Kartik month. The festival of Diwali commemorates Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman. It is traditionally believed that Diwali has been celebrated since that time, as the people of Ayodhya rejoiced and illuminated the city to welcome their king home.
On Diwali, it is traditional to worship Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi. Cowries (shells) also hold special significance in Diwali’s Lakshmi Puja, as they are considered symbols of wealth and prosperity linked to Goddess Lakshmi, who, along with the cowries, shares a connection to the ocean. Placing cowries in the Diwali Puja is believed to attract blessings and increase wealth, making them an auspicious addition for devotees seeking prosperity.
On the night of Amavasya, also known as the "Mahanisha," Lakshmi Puja is performed to honour the goddess of wealth. According to tantric practices, performing certain rituals with cowries during Diwali Puja is believed to draw blessings from Goddess Lakshmi, potentially relieving financial issues and fostering prosperity. The benefits of these rituals are said to include continued financial stability and happiness.
Goddess Lakshmi's Blessings Will Be With You
During Diwali’s Lakshmi Puja, place 5 yellow cowries and 9 Gomti Chakras near the goddess. After completing the ritual for Lakshmi and Ganesha, wrap the items in red cloth and keep them in your locker or cabinet the next day. This practice is believed to help maintain prosperity and happiness in the home.
