🪔 Step-by-Step Guide: How to Do Diwali Pooja at Home

1. 🌸 Clean and Decorate the Altar

Start with a clean and tidy space. Place the idols on a cloth-covered platform. Decorate with flowers, garlands, and rangoli designs. Use diyas or LED lights to illuminate the area, creating a divine ambiance.

2. 🙏 Invocation and Ganesha Pooja

Lord Ganesha is worshiped first to remove obstacles.

This step ensures pooja starts with positivity and blessings.

3. 🌺 Worship of Goddess Lakshmi

Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped for wealth and prosperity.

Offering sweets and fruits symbolizes sharing prosperity with family and community.
