Diwali 2020 Laxmi Puja Vidhi, Muhurat, Hora, Samagri, Mantra: The festival of lights, Diwali, is celebrated with much fanfare as people light up their homes with diyas and other decorations. The auspicious occasion, which falls on the night of the darkest moon or Amavasya, is celebrated in the month of Karthik, between mid-October and mid-November.
This year, it falls on November 14.
One of the main pujas observed during the festival is Lakshmi Puja, in which devotees offer prayers to Goddess Lakshmi for wealth and prosperity. On the occasion, families decorate their houses with marigold flowers and mango, banana and ashoka leaves. They dress up in new clothes and gorge on sweets and treats. It is also considered good to place a ‘mangalik kalash’ with unpeeled coconut on both sides of the main entrance of the house, which is kept open for good luck.
