Diwali 2024 Lakshmi Puja: Diwali is the festival of lights, prosperity, and wealth. Also known as Deepotsav and Deepawali, it is celebrated every year on the day of Kartik Amavasya, which is considered highly auspicious. On this day, people perform Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja in their homes, shops, and workplaces to invite blessings for prosperity.
This year, the Diwali festival will be celebrated on October 31, 2024. On Diwali, people thoroughly clean their homes, decorate them beautifully, make rangolis, prepare sweets and pure vegetarian dishes, and in the evening, they worship Goddess Lakshmi.
As this is a highly auspicious occasion, it’s essential to avoid actions that may upset Goddess Lakshmi. Hence, it is important to know what should not be done on Diwali to keep her blessings intact.
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.
