How the Diwali Puja Muhurat is chosen
Drik Panchang describes the commonly used Lakshmi Puja window as the overlap of Pradosh Kaal, a sthir lagna such as Vrishabha, and Amavasya. Because sunset and the lagna window vary by location, the New Delhi time above must not be copied as a universal India time.
Prepare the space and samagri
Clean the home and the altar, place idols or images of Maa Lakshmi and Shri Ganesh on a chowki with a fresh cloth, and set a puja thali with roli, akshat, flowers, a lamp and sweets. The complete list is in the Diwali samagri checklist.
A simple optional Lakshmi Puja vidhi at home
Drik Panchang documents a much fuller Diwali procedure and a separate sixteen-step Lakshmi Puja. The shorter sequence below is a practical reading aid, not a substitute for a family, temple or lineage-specific vidhi:
- Settle and prepare: place the thali and offerings within reach; light a lamp only on a stable, heat-safe surface.
- Begin with Ganesh remembrance: many Diwali sequences place Ganapati worship before Lakshmi worship.
- Offer Lakshmi Puja: offer roli, akshat, flowers, incense and the lamp according to your tradition.
- Offer bhog: place sweets, fruit or the food customarily prepared in your household.
- Perform Aarti: read Om Jai Lakshmi Mata and Jai Ganesh Deva.
- Conclude: finish according to your practice and move the lamp only when it is safe to do so.
What is optional and what varies
Fasting, new idols, account-book worship, coins, particular mantras and elaborate sixteen-step offerings belong to some traditions but are not presented here as compulsory for every reader. Follow health needs and your trusted tradition. For lamp placement and ordinary fire safety, use the diya guide. For the wider calendar, see the Diwali 2026 dates. To choose another complete Lakshmi reading or preparation guide, open the Lakshmi Aarti and Puja collection.
What about Lakshmi Puja on Friday?
Friday Lakshmi worship is a recurring household practice, not the 8 November 2026 Diwali muhurat above. Some families observe Vaibhava Lakshmi Shukravara Vrat with a longer, tradition-specific procedure and katha; others simply offer flowers or food and read a complete Lakshmi Aarti. Neither a particular purchase nor an 11- or 21-Friday count is a universal requirement. If you fast, adapt the practice to your health and household tradition; do not use a general guide as a medical or lineage-specific instruction. The Friday observance is described by Drik Panchang; its modern katha is not reproduced here.
