Goddess Lakshmi
Margasira Lakshmi Pooja is one of the popular Lakshmi Vratham observed in Andhra Pradesh and some parts of Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra. In 2022, Margasira Lakshmi Pooja begins on 24 November, Thursday.
On Thursdays in Margasira month, devotees prepare to perform Laxmi puja either in temples or at homes. Houses are cleaned and kept neat during the festival days and the image or small idol of Goddess Lakshmi is placed at puja place. Some people also place a Kalasham instead of image or idol of Lakshmi.
Lord Vinayaka or Ganesh is worshipped first. Devotees perform Prathama puja to Ganapati to get rid of obstacles or vignas. After Ganapati puja, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped with shodashopachara puja and ashtottaram and offered special Naivedya on each day during the month. The Margasira Lakshmi vratha katha or the story of Margashira Laxmi puja is recited after puja.
Auspicious Time for Kalasha Sthapana for Margasira Lakshmi Pooja on 24 November 2022 – 10:05 AM to 11:33 AM.
