What is Lakṣmī–Gaṇeśa Pooja?
Lakshmi-Ganesh pooja worships Goddess Lakshmi, the giver of wealth and prosperity, together with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. The two are worshipped together because a prosperous start needs both: a clear path and the blessing of abundance.
It is the central pooja of Diwali and is also performed when opening a shop, office or new account book. The pandit performs sankalp, invokes Ganesha first, then Lakshmi, with offerings, mantras and aarti.
When should you perform it?
- On Diwali evening during the Lakshmi pooja muhurat, usually on the Amavasya pradosh period
- On Dhanteras, Akshaya Tritiya or Fridays, which are associated with Lakshmi
- When opening a new shop, office or business, or at the start of a new financial year
- When moving a business to a new location
