Diwali is one of the biggest festival of hindus in India, and is equally celebrated all over the world. It falls on the night of Amavasya. People lit diyas and candles to welcome the goddess laxmi and lord Rama in their houses. Diwali is actually a five days festival which starts from Dhan Teras and ends with Bhaiya Dooj.

On Diwali, Lord Rama along with his wife, Sita and brother, Laxman returned to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile during which he fought with many demons and killed them. One such demon was the King Ravana.

When do Preparations for Diwali Begin? 

The preparations for Diwali begins in advance or you can say with Dussehra. People start decorating their homes, get new paint to the walls of their houses,  and also in offices.

They try to buy atleast something new for their houses or offices, items like curtains, mats, utensils or any other items within their capability and budget.

How big or small a business, it is considered auspicious to distribute sweets or gifts to the employees as per the capabilities. It’s a belief that more you distribute gifts and happiness, the more prosperity it brings to the business and the family.

 

The important feature of Diwali festival is doing worshiping of Lord Ganesha and Laxmi Goddess. They are the symbols of prosperity, wealth and happiness. Laxmi enters only in that house on the day of Diwali which is clean, well-lit and free from any clutter. This is why people decorate their house and do as much as possible to please goddess Laxmi.

4 Things to do in Diwali for better Luck and Wealth & Job

1. Place the idol for worship in correct place

On the eve of Diwali, Laxmi pujan is done with full rituals. For this place the idols of god in the northern part of home as this position is associated with wealth and luck.

It is advised that two idols of the same god should not be placed together for worship. Goddess Laxmi sits on the right of Lord Ganesha and if the idols of all the gods and goddess are in sitting position, then that is more auspicious. 

Also, you can place Dhan-Laxmi yantra in the place of worship on a red cloth as its a symbol of Goddess Laxmi for best results. A lotus flower which is the favorite of Goddess laxmi is used for worshiping.

2. Clutter-free Home

Since goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu are believed to enter the home on the day of Diwali, therefore the house  should be clutter-free.  Also, as per the Vastu – Shashtra, the front door is related to the new opportunities so its should be free of all the waste and obstacles otherwise, the divine energies and your luck may not enter your home.

3. Salt Water Spray

Take some salt and mix it with water and spray on each and every corner of your home on regular basis( not necessarily only on Diwali). It is believed that salt has the tendency of absorbing negativity from air and make it pure and clean. Clean you hands after doing this practice and also try to repeat it at least twice a week.

4. Bring more Light to your home

During all five days – starting with Dhanteras, light a diya near the tulsi plant. Tulsi is a holy plant which has mythological significance also. As per the Pushkar Pran: “Those who light the lamp of sesame oil in the name of Lord Shri Vishny in the Kartik Month in the evening, gets unlimited wealth, prosperity and happiness.”

Please stay away from noisy crackers as they can cause smoke and pollution along side noise pollution. The pollution created by them could be harmful for patients and kids. Also stay away with wrong practices of gambling and drinking that many people follow to please Goddess Laxmi, which is unethical.
