What is Lakshmi Puja?
Worship of Goddess Lakshmi, associated with prosperity and auspiciousness, most widely performed on Diwali evening and on Fridays.
Families in Shimla book Lakshmi Puja for diwali (kartik amavasya) during the pradosh kaal or a muhurat set by the pandit, and we arrange a Pandit who knows the full vidhi.

Lakshmi Puja in Shimla: Local Traditions
Shimla's temples sit on its ridges and hills, from the Jakhu Mandir of Hanuman above the Ridge to Tara Devi, Kali Bari and the Sankat Mochan Mandir. Navratri at Tara Devi and Sankat Mochan draws large numbers, and village families in the surrounding hills keep the Sair festival and devta traditions.
