The festival of Diwali is coming very soon. The festival of Diwali is celebrated with great pomp in the country and the world. 5 festivals are celebrated around Diwali. These include Dhanteras, Narak Chaturdashi, Diwali, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj. This year, the festival of Diwali will be celebrated on 7 November 2018. It is on the day of Diwali that Lord Shri Ramchandra ji returned after 14 years of exile. Ayodhya is in the joy of his return. The residents had lit lamps in Ayodhya and in the joy of the arrival of Lord Shri Ramchandra ji, the city of Ayodhya was illuminated with lamps. Since then, the tradition of removing darkness with the lighting of lamps on Kartik Amavasya has been going on, which we all celebrate as Diwali.

It is believed that the person who worships Goddess Lakshmi Ji on the day of Diwali does not have to face financial problems throughout the year. He has no shortage of money throughout the year. But many times, while worshiping Goddess Lakshmi Ji, the goddess of wealth, we accidentally commit some mistake due to which we do not get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi Ji and we become guilty of sin. Due to all these reasons, it is very important to pay attention to some things while worshiping Goddess Lakshmi Ji on the day of Diwali. We are going to give you information about what things you should pay attention to through this article.

Let us know which mistakes should not be made during Lakshmi Puja.

• You should not use Tulsi at all in the worship of Goddess Lakshmi on the day of Diwali because Tulsi is very dear to Lord Vishnu and she is married to the Shaligram form of Lord Vishnu, due to which Tulsi became the consort of Goddess Lakshmi, hence while offering anything to Goddess Lakshmi, do not add Tulsi and Tulsi Manjari, otherwise Goddess Lakshmi will get angry.

• During Lakshmi puja, you should try to ensure that the wick of the lamp used should be of red colour. Apart from this, do not keep the lamp on the left side of Goddess Lakshmi, rather keep it on the right side because Lord Vishnu is considered a symbol of spreading light in the world and Goddess Lakshmi is the wife of Lord Vishnu, hence while worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, the lamp should always be kept on the right side of Goddess Lakshmi.
• Goddess of wealth Mata Lakshmi is married, hence do not offer white colored flowers to her even by mistake. While worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, offer only red and pink flowers.

• Do not keep the idol of Lakshmi ji on a white colored carpet even by mistake. Also, do not use any white or black colored object while worshipping.

• After worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, keep the Prasad on the south side of the temple. Before celebrating the festival of Diwali, all the people of the house should worship Goddess Lakshmi and Ganesh Ji together and take their Prasad.
