The festival of lights symbolises the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Diwali reflects the country&#8217;s culture, social bonds, and harmony. There are several beliefs behind celebrating Diwali; the most popular one is Lord Rama&#8217;s return to Ayodhya after completing 14 years of exile. It is believed that when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya with Mata Sita and Lakshman, the people decorated the city and lit it with diyas. Since then, the tradition of celebrating this occasion as a festival has continued.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/diwali-lakshmi-puja-shubh-muhurat-significance-of-evening-worship\/#When_Is_Diwali_in_2026\" >When Is Diwali in 2026?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/diwali-lakshmi-puja-shubh-muhurat-significance-of-evening-worship\/#Why_Is_Diwali_Puja_Performed_in_the_Evening\" >Why Is Diwali Puja Performed in the Evening?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are several other beliefs behind celebrating<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/festival\/diwali\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diwali<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In South India, it is celebrated to mark Lord Krishna&#8217;s victory over Narakasura. In Jainism, this day is observed as the Nirvana Diwas of Mahavir Swami and along with this, there is also a special tradition of worshipping Devi Lakshmi on this day. According to a major religious and mythological belief, Goddess Lakshmi appeared during the Samudra Manthan on the Kartik Amavasya. But do you know why Lakshmi Puja is performed during the evening Pradosh Kaal on Diwali?

Business owners also worship Goddess Lakshmi in their shops or offices on this day. However, the puja is generally performed during Pradosh Kaal and Vrishabha Lagna. There are several beliefs behind performing Diwali Puja in the evening or at night, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Goddess Lakshmi Appeared During Samudra Manthan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to mythology, the gods and demons performed Samudra Manthan to obtain Amrit, during which 14 precious gems emerged. Maa Lakshmi also appeared from the Kshir Sagar during the Samudra Manthan on the night of Kartik Amavasya. Since Maa Lakshmi appeared at night, this time is considered especially auspicious for worship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Goddess Lakshmi&#8217;s Visiting Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to religious beliefs, Goddess Lakshmi visits the Earth at night and resides in homes that are clean, pure, and well-lit. That\u2019s why people clean their homes, make rangoli, decorate doorways with torans, adorn their homes with flowers and garlands, and light diyas during Diwali.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Symbol of Light Over Darkness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The night of Kartik Amavasya is dark, with darkness all around. On this night, when people light diyas and welcome Maa Lakshmi through worship, it is believed to remove the darkness of ignorance and poverty from their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Importance of Pradosh Kaal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to astrological beliefs, the period after sunset is called Pradosh Kaal. This is a time when negative energy fades away and positive energy flows. Therefore, worshipping Maa Lakshmi during Pradosh Kaal and the Vrishsbh Kaal is considered highly auspicious and brings lasting blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about Diwali Lakshmi Puja, its auspicious timings, or the significance of Pradosh Kaal, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/talk-to-astrologer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consult an astrologer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for personalised guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_201454\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"201454\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diwali 2026: Diwali is one of India&#8217;s major festivals.
