Fascinatingly, Lakshmi Pujan is observed on Dhanteras, occurring two days prior to Diwali. The belief is rooted in the notion that Goddess Lakshmi originated on this auspicious day. According to legend, the Mother Goddess manifested from the cosmic ocean, known as Kshira Sagara, during the churning by Devas and Asuras to obtain the elixir of immortality called Amrit.
Diwali's history can be traced back to ancient India, with several legends associated with it where many believe that Diwali is the celebration that marks Lakshmi's wedding with Vishnu while others mark it to be a celebration of Lakshmi's birth, as it is believed that she was born on the new moon day of Kartik.
