Diwali Puja in Pune, known in Maharashtra as Lakshmi Pujan, is performed on the Amavasya evening to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, and Kuber into the home. Families seek blessings for wealth, stability, and happiness in the coming year.
In Marathi homes, the festival is celebrated over several days, from Vasubaras and Dhanatrayodashi to Narak Chaturdashi, Lakshmi Pujan, Balipratipada (Padwa), and Bhaubeej.
Lakshmi Pujan is the most important ritual of this series. Pune celebrates Diwali with a mix of old and new traditions. In the Peths of old Pune, families follow customs passed down through generations.
In newer areas like Hinjewadi, Wakad, Kharadi, and Baner, many working professionals who have moved from other states celebrate in rented flats and apartments, often without family elders to guide them.
Business owners observe Chopda Pujan (Vahi Pujan), from traders in the Laxmi Road and Tulshibaug markets to industrial units in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Chakan.
