Diwali Puja 2024: Know The Correct Direction To Place Ganesh-Laxmi Idol For Prosperity And Blessings

Diwali holds great significance in Hinduism. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha are worshipped. Know, in which direction to place their idols for the puja.

Diwali Puja 2024: Diwali is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism which is celebrated on the new moon day (Amavasya Tithi) of the Kartik month. According to Hindu mythology, this festival marks the return of Lord Shri Ram to Ayodhya after completing 14 years of exile. The citizens of Ayodhya celebrated his return with great joy, which is why Diwali is celebrated with such enthusiasm across the country today.

Worship Of Lord Ganesha And Goddess Lakshmi On Diwali

On Diwali, people worship Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, believing it brings prosperity and happiness into their lives. Performing this ritual on Diwali is believed to attract blessings, ensuring peace, wealth, and the constant presence of Goddess Lakshmi in the home.

Where To Place The Idols Of Lakshmi And Ganesha On Diwali

During Diwali, it is customary to bring new idols of Lakshmi and Ganesha into the home for worship. However, there is a common misconception regarding their placement. Many believe that Goddess Lakshmi should be placed on the left side of Lord Ganesha, but this is incorrect. The left side is traditionally considered the position of a wife. Since Goddess Lakshmi is regarded as a mother figure to Lord Ganesha, she should always be placed to his right.

For the Diwali puja, the idols of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi should be placed in such a way that their faces are either towards the east or west, symbolising positive energy flow.

The Importance Of Kalash Sthapana On Diwali:

Kalash Sthapana holds special significance during Diwali. The Kalash represents Varun Dev, the deity of water. Installing a Kalash during Lakshmi Puja on Diwali night is considered highly auspicious, doubling the benefits of the puja and bringing lasting prosperity to the home.

In Hindu traditions, the Kalash is believed to contain the essence of Amrit (nectar), and its presence in the home is said to remove financial troubles and ensure good health for the family. Since it is considered as life-giving as Amrit, installing a Kalash on Diwali also brings blessings of good health.

If you have a deep devotion to a specific deity, it is recommended to offer prayers to them after worshipping Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali. Honoring your personal deities during the puja can strengthen your connection with them and bring their blessings into your life.
