Diwali 2025 Don'ts: Cleaning the house after Diwali, removing idols or lamps, quarreling, and leaving the place of worship in disarray are considered inauspicious. These actions can anger Goddess Lakshmi, so be careful to maintain prosperity.

Diwali 2025: The night of Diwali is considered the most auspicious night of the year. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides in homes on this day, bringing increased happiness and prosperity. According to mythological beliefs, Goddess Lakshmi visits every home on Diwali night.

Goddess Lakshmi resides permanently where there is cleanliness, light, and devotion. Therefore, it is a tradition to clean homes in a sacred manner before Diwali. Goddess Lakshmi is also worshipped with great devotion at night, but the next day, we should avoid making any mistakes that might anger her. Let's learn more about this. 

Do not sweep or throw out the garbage the next morning.

Cleaning the house and lighting lamps on Diwali night purifies the atmosphere, but sweeping and taking out the trash the next morning is considered inauspicious. It is said that this disturbs the presence of Goddess Lakshmi and negatively impacts happiness and prosperity. If you wish to clean, do so in the afternoon.

Do not remove the idols immediately after the puja.

On the night of Diwali, idols of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, and other deities are installed with due rituals. During the puja, the atmosphere of the home is filled with devotion, light, and positivity. However, people often remove or reinstall the idols immediately after the puja, which is considered a grave mistake. According to mythological belief, removing or disarranging idols immediately after the puja is inauspicious.  

The lamp should not be extinguished immediately. 

In the Lakshmi Puja ritual, the eternal flame burning in the home symbolizes the arrival of Goddess Lakshmi. Extinguishing the lamp immediately at dawn is considered inauspicious. Let it extinguish on its own. This ensures lasting happiness and peace in the home.

Don't argue or talk negatively.

It's crucial to maintain a calm and auspicious atmosphere at home the day after Diwali. Anger, quarreling, or negative conversations can impact the positive energy in the home. It's believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides where there is prosperity. 

Do not leave the place of worship untidy.

Leaving lamps, flowers, or offerings scattered after the Diwali puja is considered careless. In the morning, clean the place of worship, clean it, and offer prayers to the deity again. This will ensure long-lasting auspicious results.

Do not throw away old or broken lamps.

The lamps, vases, or sacred decorations used in puja should not be thrown in the garbage. It is customary to immerse them under a tree, in a river, or in a clean area. Doing so maintains purity and ensures the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
