Overview

Lakshmi Puja for families in Lal Darwaza

Lakshmi Puja honours Goddess Mahalakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, who is associated with shri: prosperity, abundance, grace and auspiciousness. The best-known Lakshmi Puja takes place on Diwali, the Amavasya of Kartik, when homes and shops are lit with diyas to welcome the Goddess.

Planning your puja in Lal Darwaza

During Bonalu, the area is extremely crowded; plan home rituals away from peak procession hours.

Lanes are very narrow; share a nearby main road landmark where the Pandit can park.

Old houses usually have a courtyard or terrace suitable for a small homam.

Mention whether your family follows Telugu or another regional vidhi.

Tell us whether you want a Telugu or North Indian vidhi and your preferred language.

For a business puja, keep account books or a laptop, keys and the cash box ready.
