Mahalakshmi pooja

The rite

Lakshmi pooja welcomes Mahalakshmi at home with lamps, coins, and the ledger or account books many families open for Diwali. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs the North Indian lakshmi puja in Bengaluru flats and houses, including kalash, Shri yantra or image, and aarti without quoting lucky numbers or guaranteed prosperity.

Before the visit, clear a clean floor or table space, stack samagri from the WhatsApp list in one place, and keep drinking water ready for elders. Share gate code, parking notes, and society rules when you message so setup is calm across Bengaluru traffic.

Time at the house: 2–3 hours

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Diwali evening crowds make temple visits hard for elders; home puja keeps everyone seated together.

The rite is worship and gratitude, not a promise of business profit or salary rise.

Elders and children may sit nearby; the pandit pauses for brief Hindi notes so guests know when to offer flowers, ghee, or responses during mantras.

Share gotra, names, and your Bengaluru locality on WhatsApp so travel and samagri are confirmed before the day. The appointment form opens WhatsApp only; this page does not store your message.

When families ask

• On Diwali evening or the lakshmi muhurat your family follows
• After cleaning and rangoli, before gambling or party plans if you keep both
• When a new shop year or home accounts are opened symbolically
• When children should learn the lakshmi stuti at home
• When you want the rite completed in one calm sitting without rushing the final arati and prasad
