5 . Lighting Diya and lamps
Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, honors the triumph of light over darkness. Goddess Lakshmi is said to visit regions where there is plenty of light; well-lighted homes and lit diyas also generate positive energy and chase away darkness.

Lotus seeds, also known as Kamalgatta, are traditionally offered to Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali to represent riches and spiritual enlightenment. Kamalgatta is particularly crucial when worshipping Goddess Lakshmi because she is depicted sitting on a lotus. Lotus flower denotes beauty, purity, and divine energy; it is closely related with Goddess Lakshmi. Chanting Lakshmi mantras while performing 108 offerings is a popular activity that brings. The use of kamalgatta during mantra chanting is said to increase the power of the mantras and strengthen the devotee’s link with Goddess Lakshmi.
To greet the Goddess, create a colorful rangoli on your doorstep. A lotus flower or little footprints are frequent emblems used to honor her.
Finally, Share food or give to people in need. Acts of kindness during Diwali are thought to please her. Following these rituals with faith may result in peace, happiness, and success in your home.
