Diwali is one of my favourite festivals. It is mainly related to the Hindu religion. It is said that lord Rama after killing the demon named Ravanasura at Lanka returned to his kingdom Ayodhya(Now in uttrapradesh). On his return people were happy for their kings return and celebrated the festival Diwali by lightning all the houses with lamps.
Each year the festival Diwali occurs in the month of October or November on the new moon day. On this day most of the Hindu religion people offer their salutations to Goddess Lakshmi by drawing Rangoli designs and performing puja inside their homes, to seek blessings from her for the coming days ahead with wealth and fortune.
Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and beauty, she also represents the way to truth,prosperity and harmony. She is also worshipped daily by billions of Hindus around the world. She is also considered as universal Goddess.
During the festival of Diwali children burst crackers and some of them hit pots and pans to scare of Lakshmi's dark sister Alakshmi. Then women draw Rangoli designs, such as Diwali rangoli,flower rangoli designs,free hand rangoli designs etc inside and outside of their homes. Some women light small lamps in front of their doors and windows to offer Goddess Lakshmi, to help her find her way to their homes.
On the day of Diwali Lakshmi is honoured with worship with Abishekam,Homam and puja. On this day people place their account books,money and sweets hoping that their financial year will boost in the coming days of the year. On this day people also visit temples by taking sweets and offering prayers to her.
One of the most powerful mantras of Goddess Lakshmi is
"Om Sri Maha Lakshmi Namaha"
This mantra when spelled Goddess Lakshmi will shower her blessings with wealth and prosperity to her devotees.
we can also chant Mahalakshmi stotram, which is one of the most powerful mantras used while performing puja to Goddess Lakshmi.
