Deepavali Puja
It is customary and auspicious to pray to Lord Kubera & Goddess
Mahalakshmi for prosperity through out the year. This “Lakshmi Kubera
Puja” is best done in the evening on Deepavali day.
If one can light 16 small lamps using ghee during the puja, it is
auspicious. For Mahalakshmi, archanai can be done with vilvam leaves
which is very auspicious. One can buy silver vilvam leaves, available in
shops. Alternatively, silver coins, copper coins, flowers or kumkum can
also be used.
The picture of Kuberan with Mahalakshmi is available, which can be used.
If not, a picture of Lakshmi is enough.
For Kuberan archanai, coins are best used.
For naivedyam, Sarkarai Pongal or Milk with honey and a drop of ghee
can be used.
I am giving a very simplified format here. I am aware one cannot spare a
longer time on Deepavali day !
In tamil a person is blessed thus “ Pathinaarum petru peru vazvu vaazka”.
To achieve that, it is necessary to worship Shodas(h)a Mahalakshmi and
Kuberan.
The 16 Lakshmis are:
Soundaryalakshmi - Beauty
Soubhagyalakshmi - all blessings in life
