Among all the festivals in India, Deepavali has a religious as well as social significance. Socially, it has an importance because long before this festival arrives, people start cleaning their houses and shops. They repair old furniture, paint the walls and decorate the entrance of their houses. This way, the house is renovated and looks attractive on this occasion. The monsoons bring along dirt and Deepavali provides a good opportunity to wash away all the dirt and dust from the house.

Rituals of this festive occasion

There is a ritual of worshipping the Goddess of wealth, Mahalakshmi, on Deepavali. According to religious scriptures, a person who worships Goddess Lakshmi day and night on Deepavali never faces any financial constraints in life. On the other hand, a person who spends this occasion by being lazy is not blessed by Goddess Lakshmi.

Ma Lakshmi visits your house on Deepavali

In Brahmapuran, it is depicted that on the auspicious night of Deepavali, Goddess Lakshmi appears in the house. As a result, the house should be cleaned and decorated to appease her so that she stays back and blesses the people of the house. In almost all houses, people worship Shree Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi or ‘Dravya Lakshmi’ according to their own rituals and traditions. In some places, different colourful designs are painted on the walls or on a wooden batten with chalks or other paints. Idols of Shree Ganesh and Lakshmi are installed on this painted wooden batten and worshipped. Beside the idols, some silver coins are also kept. On a plate, 13 or 26 lamps are lit and worshipped with the four faced lamp (chaumukha diya) placed in the middle. Once the ‘puja’ is over, these lamps or ‘diyas’ are placed at the important corners of the house. The four faced lamp (chaumukha diya) is made sure to burn the whole night for good effects. This year, Deepavali falls on 7 th November.
