Red Mud and is Usually Performed

The Lakshmi Puja is Performed at Dusk Using  by the Women of the Family. I Used to Help My Mother Do This When I Was Little. This is One of My Favorite Holiday Activities. First, a Path Leading to the Puja Room is Laid With Red Mud. After Drying a Mixture of Flour and Water is Used to Leave the Symbolic Footprints of Goddess Lakshmi on the Floor Entering the Home.

Once the Flour Footprints Have Dried, Apply Cinnabar and Oil on the Footprints and Sprinkle Some Flowers on Them. This Results in a String of Small Red Footprints Sri Lanka WhatsApp Number List Appearing From the Main Entrance of the House to the Puja Room Signifying That Goddess Lakshmi Has Entered the House. The Whole House Was Decorated With Garlands and Every Door and Window Was Lit With Oil Lamps.



People Also Use Firecrackers to Celebrate This Festival. In Australia We Can't Do All This So I Printed Small Footprints on Paper and Used That as an Alternative Method to Lead Goddess Lakshmi to Our Puja Areas. Also at the Beginning of the Steps I Saw the Mandap of Lord Ganesh. I Placed a Picture of the Goddess and Some Notes in the Area Along With Our Piggy Bank. Then I Performed the Puja With Tikka Flower Garland Fruit Roti and Masala.
