On November 4, 2021, Diwali, the Deepotsav and Lakshmi Puja festival, is being celebrated (Thursday). Diwali is known as one of the biggest and most widely celebrated festivals throughout the country. Lakshmi Puja is held on the third day of Diwali to commemorate the goddess Lakshmi, who is also known as the goddess of wealth, prosperity, auspiciousness, and good fortune. The goddess is said to pay visits to her devotees and offer her blessings and gifts. Devotees clean their homes, decorate them with lights, and prepare sweets with tremendous zeal in preparation for her presence. Most people prepare elaborately for the puja. The puja is supposed to be done at certain muhurat timings.
