Mumbai: Diwali, the festival of lights, is more than just a celebration of colours and sweets—it’s a time to welcome prosperity, peace, and positivity into one’s home. A central tradition during Diwali is the Lakshmi Puja, dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, who symbolises wealth and success. Performing the Puja at the correct muhurat amplifies its blessings, ensuring Goddess Lakshmi’s grace fills the household for the year ahead.
For devotees in Ahmedabad, Diwali 2024 brings specific timings for Lakshmi Puja, known as the Pradosh Kaal and Nishita Kaal, when the energies are most aligned for invoking Lakshmi’s presence. This year, the exact muhurats, including the Vrishabha Lagna, promise to enhance stability and fortune, making it a significant event for families and the business community, especially during the revered tradition of Chopda Pujan.
