ToggleWhy Lakshmi Puja Matters
Lakshmi Puja during Diwali invokes the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity, clarity, and new beginnings, traditionally performed with Lord Ganesha to remove obstacles before wealth is invited in. A well-prepared samagri list ensures each step—from sthapana to aarti—is performed smoothly, avoiding last-minute rushes or substitutions that could disrupt the ritual flow.
Core Lakshmi Puja Samagri Checklist
Here’s a practical list for the UAE, based on both tradition and modern guides, so you have everything needed for a family home puja. Adjust the amounts based on your family size or your pandit’s advice. If some plants are hard to find in Dubai, we suggest alternatives. Start with clean images or idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, placed on a raised chowki or stool for sthapana.
- Kalash with clean water, mango leaves (or available leaves), and a coconut with husk for prosperity symbolism.
- Fresh flowers and garlands: Marigold, Chrysanthemum, Jasmine, Rose, and Lotus, if available; freshness is preferred over variety.
- Deepam/diya setup: Earthen or brass lamps, cotton wicks, ghee or oil, and camphor for aarti.
- Incense sticks/dhoop, chandan (sandalwood paste), kumkum, haldi, and akshata (unbroken rice) for tilak and offerings
- Panchamrit ingredients: milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar; and a clean silver/copper bowl and spoon.
- Paan leaves, fruits (banana, apple, pomegranate), Indian sweets, dry fruits; optional makhana (lotus seeds) per tradition.
- Coins or notes (ideally new), account books/ledgers for traditional business households, and a symbolic pen for new beginnings.
- Aarti thali, bell (ghanti), conch (shankh), and a clean cloth set for wiping and placements.

UAE Sourcing Tips and Local Substitutions
- Enjoy the fragrance and beauty of fresh marigolds, chrysanthemum, jasmine, and rose garlands in Dubai, who offer early delivery on festival days. These thoughtful touches help keep your puja and toran decorations vibrant and welcoming for the whole family.
- If mango leaves or specific Pancha Pallav varieties are unavailable, use clean, broad leaves that are available and focus on overall ritual purity; consult a pandit if substituting.
- Create a family checklist about a week before Diwali and order non-perishable items, such as diyas, wicks, and incense, early. Schedule your flower delivery for Diwali morning so they stay fresh for the evening Lakshmi Puja.
Fresh Flower Choices and How to Use Them
- Marigold (yellow/orange): Torans, mandir borders, and aarti decoration; hardy for the UAE climate and holds up through the puja window.
- Jasmine and Rose: Offerings at the altar, fragrance uplift during Lakshmi aarti, and plate decoration around diyas for evening ambience.
- Chrysanthemum and mixed bouquets: Complement marigold torans and fill puja plates; combine with tulsi leaves, if available, for a sacred touch.
If you do pooja regularly, Samagri’s morning flower subscription matches daily pooja timings and covers you for Diwali week, so you don’t have to make last-minute trips to the market.
Step-by-step Lakshmi Puja Flow
- Sthapana: Clean the space and place the asana cloth. Place Lakshmi and Ganesha. Prepare the Kalash with water, leaves, and a coconut, and light the diya.
- Sankalpa: State the intention and family names, then apply tilak and offer fresh flowers and akshata to both deities.
- Lakshmi archana: Offer chandan, kumkum, flowers, sweets, and fruits; chant Lakshmi Ashtottara or simple mantras, guided by family tradition.
- Ganesha puja: Offer durva grass, if available, along with modak or laddoo, and incense , ring the bell lightly during the aarti.
- Aarti and prasad: Perform aarti with camphor or ghee diya; distribute prasad and place coins/books before the deities for blessings.
These steps cover the essential aspects of various regional customs and are easy to follow, with samagri and delivery options available in the UAE.
Diwali Puja Samagri vs. Daily Pooja Needs
- Diwali Puja Samagri emphasizes Lakshmi-Ganesha, the kalash, coin/book symbolism, extended lamps and garlands, and an evening aarti ambiance.
- Daily pooja requires a compact set: A Diya, incense, chandan, kumkum, akshata, and 2–3 fresh flowers; a subscription simplifies the routine.
By combining both lists, you can add daily essentials and festival items to one cart, saving time and delivery cost
