Diwali, a festival of lights, is celebrated in different ways across the country. Even though the ways are different, it is still one of the happiest times of the year. During Diwali, it is important to give homage to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Laxmi. Many families perform pujas on the day and pray to the gods to have health, wealth and happiness in their lives. It is said that God resides in a clean and beautiful place.
Here are some of the best ways you can decorate your house for Laxmi Puja:
Flower decorations
Using various kinds of flowers, you can give a very beautiful and elegant look to your puja room. You can use rose petals and marigold flowers. They give a contrasting image and thus look very eye-catching.
Decorations with diyas
Using only diyas, you can light up the entire puja room. You can keep them in designs like Swastika or Om. Using painted diyas will bring colour to this decoration. You just need to be very careful with diyas and make sure that they don’t turn into a fire hazard.
Rangoli decorations
Generally, rangolis are made right outside the door of the house or just at the doorstep. But, this Diwali, you can use the rangoli colours to create beautiful patterns around your Laxmi puja. Add some diyas to make it look even more charming. You can even do this rangoli with flower petals instead of colours.
Water diya decorations
Water diyas look very beautiful, so you can use them as a centrepiece. A great idea would be to take a large bowl and place the idol of Laxmi right in the centre so that it looks like it's floating on the water. Then place some diyas around it in the water.
With the use of many such ideas, you can decorate your Laxmi puja room. A beautiful place along with heartfelt prayers will surely invite Goddess Laxmi to reside at your home.
