Preparation

Clean the house and decorate it with flowers, rangoli, and diyas (oil lamps).
Set up the Puja Altar. Create a sacred space for the Puja by placing a clean cloth on a raised platform or table. Place idols or images of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesh, and other deities if desired.

Traditional meals for Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, vary based on regional and cultural traditions. However, there are some common dishes that are typically enjoyed during this festive occasion.
Diwali is known for its wide array of sweets and desserts, such as ladoos, jalebi, barfi, and kheer. These sweet treats symbolize the celebration and joy of the festival.

Offerings

Offer flowers, incense, fruits, sweets, and other traditional items to the deities.

Recite mantras and prayers dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, such as the Lakshmi Ashtothram or other sacred chants.
Perform the Arti by circling a lit diya in front of the deities. Sing traditional Arti songs and offer reverence to the deities.
Distribute prasad (sacred food) to the family members and guests present during the Puja.

Seek blessings

Close the Puja by seeking blessings from Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity, wealth, and well-being

Celebrate

After the Puja, celebrate Diwali by exchanging gifts, enjoying festive meals, and lighting firecrackers if desired.
