What is Diwali Lakshmi Puja in Hyderabad? Diwali Puja, also called Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja or Deepavali Puja, is a Hindu ritual...

Diwali Puja, also called Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja or Deepavali Puja, is a Hindu ritual performed on the evening of Kartik Amavasya to honour and welcome Goddess Lakshmi, with Lord Ganesha invoked first to remove obstacles.
Devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity and well-being, with Lord Ganesha to remove obstacles. Many families also worship Kuber and, in business households, their account books.
The puja is traditionally performed in Pradosh Kaal, the twilight period after sunset, while Amavasya is in effect. On the night of Lakshmi Puja, it is believed that the goddess roams the Earth.
During this window, many pandits prefer the fixed Vrishabha lagna, as it is believed to invite Lakshmi to stay in the home.
