Diwali Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja 2025: Why Worship During Nishita Period is Especially Auspicious

Diwali, the grand Festival of Lights, celebrates new beginnings, prosperity, and positive energy. Central to Diwali celebrations is the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Performing Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja on Diwali is believed to bring financial prosperity, happiness, peace, and spiritual strength.

The Nishita Kaal—a special time around midnight when day and night are perfectly balanced—is considered the most auspicious period for performing this puja. According to astrology and tantric traditions, rituals and mantra chanting during Nishita Kaal have intensified and long-lasting effects, making it ideal for inviting wealth, knowledge, and spiritual growth into one’s life.

For Diwali 2025, the Nishita Kaal will occur from 11:46 PM on October 21 to 12:36 AM on October 22. Conducting the Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja during this time is believed to amplify the blessings of both deities throughout the year, bringing prosperity and peace to homes.

Thus, observing Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja during Nishita Kaal adds spiritual potency to the festival, ensuring that devotees start the new year with fortune, wisdom, and harmony.
