Diwali 2023: Lakshmi Puja Date, Time, and Shubh Muhurat
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of India's most celebrated festivals, observed with grandeur and enthusiasm. This joyous occasion holds immense religious significance, as it marks the return of Lord Shri Ram to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana. The city's inhabitants welcomed their beloved Lord by lighting lamps, a tradition that has endured through the ages.
On Diwali day, it is customary for families to rise early, gather for puja (worship), and seek blessings from their ancestors and the divine. This day is considered highly auspicious for performing ancestral rites because it falls on Amavasya, the day of the new moon. Diwali is particularly associated with the worship of Goddess Mahalakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. People also offer their prayers to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Mahasaraswati, and Goddess Mahakali on this occasion.
