Lakshmi Puja 2

  // November 04, 2002 (more •)

Lakshmi Puja is the third day of Diwali, the festival of lights, the celebration of the home returning of Lord Rama. It is believed that on this day Lakshmi walks through the green fields and loiters through the bye-lanes and showers her blessings on man for plenty and prosperity. When the sun sets in the evening and ceremonial worship is finished all the home-made sweets are offered to the goddess as "Naivedya" and distributed as "Prasad". Feasts are arrange and gifts are exchanged on this day gaily dressed men, women and children go to temples and fairs, visit friends and relatives. Everything is happy, gold and glitter!
