Significance

Diwali, the main night of the festival, falls on Kartika Amavasya, and the Lakshmi pujan is performed during pradosh when the tithi is present. It is remembered as the day Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya, and as the night when Maa Lakshmi is welcomed into clean, well-lit homes.

In business families, the new account books are worshipped as Chopda pujan. Whatever the custom, the day is also one of cleaning, forgiveness and giving. A Lakshmi-Ganesh pujan can be performed for your home or business in Ujjain with your name and gotra, with the video shared afterwards.
