Lakshmi Puja, a major religious festival after Durga Puja of the Hindu community, will be celebrated today with due religious fervor and enthusiasm.
The Puja takes place on the first full-moon night after the end of Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of Hindus.
This full-moon night is also called “Kujagori Purnima”, and that is why this puja is also known as “Kujagori Lakshmi Puja”.
The Hindus believe that Goddess Lakshmi arrives to receive worship on the night of Purnima to give blessings of prosperity. In this belief, Bengali Hindus perform Lakshmi Puja in each of their houses.
In addition to the full moon in the month of Ashwin, some also perform special worship of goddess Lakshmi every Thursday
