Lakshmi Puja History and Origin

Goddess Lakshmi is believed to have arisen from the Samundra Manthan (churning of the ocean) during a battle between Gods and Demons. Upon emerging, she selected Lord Vishnu as her master, aligning herself with the Gods. With the Gods restored to power, vanquishing the demons became easier. Since then, Goddess Lakshmi is said to grace the homes of her followers on Diwali if she is pleased with them. Diwali, a festival of light and joy, shares similarities with the Lakshmi Puja festival. Followers of Goddess Lakshmi are bestowed with prosperity and good health.
