Devotees observing Diwali will have a limited timeframe to perform Lakshmi Puja today, with auspicious timings beginning in the early evening. The Pradosh Kaal, considered the most favorable period for the worship ritual, will remain available for several hours.
LSN India ·

The most opportune moment for conducting Lakshmi Puja on Diwali falls during the Pradosh Kaal period, which will commence at 5:31 p.m. and conclude at 8:09 p.m. today. This three-and-a-half-hour window provides devotees with sufficient time to perform the sacred ritual dedicated to the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
Within this auspicious period, an additional favorable timeframe known as Vrishabh Kaal will occur from 5:54 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. Many practitioners prefer to conduct their worship during this sub-period, viewing it as particularly propitious for invoking blessings.
For those unable to complete their rituals during the primary Pradosh Kaal window, the Vrishabh Kaal period offers an alternative auspicious timeframe. Devotees are advised to consult local pandit guidance to ensure their observances align with traditional practices and their specific household circumstances.
