Diwali / Lakshmi Puja 2026 kab hai?
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2026 mein 8 November, Ravivar ko hai — Kartik Amavasya, roshni ka tyohar. Ramayana ke anusaar is din Ram vanvaas se Ayodhya laute the. Shaam ko Lakshmi Puja hoti hai, ghar-bahar deep jalte hain aur mithaas baanti jaati hai.
Katha aur parampara
Kartik maas ki Amavasya — saal ki sabse andheri raat, aur usi raat sabse zyaada roshni. Diwali ki sabse pyaari kahani Ramayana se judi hai: chaudah saal ka vanvaas poora karke jab Bhagwan Ram, Sita aur Lakshman ke saath Ayodhya laute, to poori nagri khushi se jhoom uthi. Nagervaasiyon ne unke swagat mein ghee ke diye jalaye — ghar-ghar, gali-gali, mahal se lekar jhopdi tak. Kaha jaata hai tab se har saal isi raat deep jalane ki parampara chali aa rahi hai: andhere par roshni ki, agyaan par gyaan ki jeet ka utsav.
Shaam ko hoti hai Lakshmi Puja — Diwali ka sabse mahatvapurna sanskar. Kehte hain is raat Devi Lakshmi dharti par vicharan karti hain aur usi ghar mein pravesh karti hain jahan swachchta, roshni aur shraddha ho. Isiliye Diwali se pehle gharon ki safai ek dharmik kaam maana jaata hai — purana kabad nikalna, deewarein potna, aangan lipta — sab is vishwas ke saath ki Lakshmi ji padharne wali hain. Puja mein Lakshmi-Ganesh ki sthapana hoti hai, kamal ke phool chadhte hain, kheel-batashe aur mithaas ka bhog lagta hai. Vyapari isi din apne naye bahi-khate kholte hain — Chopda Pujan — naye vittiya varsh ki shuruaat ke roop mein.
Diwali ke paanch dinon ka apna-apna rang hai: Dhanteras par dhan ki shuruaat, Choti Diwali par burai ka naash, badi Diwali par roshni ka utsav, Govardhan Puja par prakriti ke prati kritagyata, aur Bhai Dooj par bhai-behen ka pyaar. Gujarat mein Diwali ke agle din se Vikram Samvat ka naya saal shuru hota hai. Jain parampara mein is raat Bhagwan Mahavir ko nirvan prapt hua tha, aur Sikh itihaas mein Bandi Chhor Divas — Guru Hargobind ji ki rihaai — isi din manaya jaata hai. Ek tyohar, kitne arth — isiliye Diwali sirf Hinduon ki nahi, poore Bharat ki roshni hai.
Diwali ki raat ki ek aur purani parampara hai dyut-kreeda — pasha ya taash khelna. Kaha jaata hai is raat Parvati ne Shiv ko chaupad mein haraya tha, tab se is raat khelna shubh maana jaata hai; kehte hain jo is raat jeetta hai, saal bhar Lakshmi us par kripa karti hain. Bengal mein Diwali ki raat Kali Puja hoti hai — andheri Amavasya mein ugra roop wali Maa Kali ki upasana, jo kehti hai andhere se daro mat, use apnao aur jeeto. Aur Govardhan Puja ke din lagne wala annakut — chhappan bhog ka dher — yaad dilata hai ki dharti jo deti hai, use baantkar khao. Diwali isiliye sirf diye jalane ka tyohar nahi: ye safai ka, hisaab-kitaab ka, rishte jodne ka, aur andhere mein bhi ummeed jalaye rakhne ka tyohar hai.
Kaise manayein
- Diwali se pehle ghar ki poori safai karein — purana saamaan nikalein, rangoli ke liye aangan taiyaar karein.
- Shaam ko shubh muhurat mein Lakshmi-Ganesh ki sthapana karke puja karein; kamal ke phool chadhayein.
- Kheel-batashe, mithaas aur phalon ka bhog lagayein; ghar ke har kone mein deep jalayein.
- Mukhya dwar par toran-bandhanwaar lagayein aur swastik banayein.
- Vyapari naye bahi-khate kholen (Chopda Pujan) aur naye vittiya varsh ka sankalp lein.
- Buzurgon ka aashirvaad lein, doston-rishtedaaron ko mithaas baantein; aatishbaazi surakshit tareeke se karein.
Diwali / Lakshmi Puja ke upay
- Diwali se pehle ghar ki gehari safai karein — parampara kehti hai Lakshmi ji swachch ghar mein hi pravesh karti hain.
- Lakshmi Puja mein kamal ka phool aur kheel-batashe zaroor chadhayein; tijori mein haldi ki gaanth rakhein.
- Amavasya ki raat ghar ka koi kona andhera na rahe — har kamre mein deep jalayein.
- Diwali ke din kisi zarooratmand ko mithaas ya vastra daan karein; baanti hui khushi dugni hoti hai.
