Avoid Doing These Things On Diwali

Stay Away from These Thins: On Diwali night, many people indulge in gambling. However, according to traditional beliefs, such activities are considered inauspicious on this day. Engaging in gambling, drinking alcohol, or similar actions can anger Goddess Lakshmi. In homes where such activities take place, Goddess Lakshmi never resides, leading to financial difficulties. Scriptures also state that in homes where alcohol or intoxicating substances are consumed, Goddess Lakshmi does not stay.

Do Not Disrespect Women: The woman of the house is considered the "Grihalakshmi" or the goddess of the home. It is believed that in a home where women are respected and their laughter echoes, Goddess Lakshmi resides. Conversely, in homes where the wife or any woman is disrespected, financial progress comes to a halt.

Do Not Keep The House Dark: Diwali is the festival of lights, so make sure no corner of the house remains dark on this day. Along with lighting diyas, ensure that lights are kept on in every room throughout the Diwali night.
