Karthik Krishna Amavasya is considered to be the most auspicious day to perform Laxmi puja. After the fierce battle of lord Rama and Raavan in Lanka, Laxmi puja was performed as a symbol of Lord Rama’s victory over Ravan. The return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya was celebrated with great pomp and show. Shree Rama was coronated and Laxmi puja was performed by the people of Ayodhya. Laxmi puja is also commonly referred to as the Deepawali or Diwali puja which is also conducted in honor of Mata Sita.
Laxmi Maata is an embodiment of power and intelligence as she holds the Abhaya gesture and gyaan gesture in her right hands. Her left hands hold a pot of wealth depicting what she can bestow upon any person. Hence, her four hands signify dharma, kama, Martha, and moksha. One will see her radiate with a gorgeous golden complexion in all her depictions. Being the divinity of wealth, she adorns gold ornaments and is draped during an imperial red saree. She is always amid an elephant on each side, spraying water, that denotes purity, knowledge, and a force of religious happiness.
