Lakshmi Puja Muhurat
Use the puja window as a planning anchor, then confirm the final timing for your city and family tradition with a trusted local panchang.
Lakshmi Puja timing is specific to the calendar year and city. As a reference, Drik Panchang lists the 2026 New Delhi puja on Sunday, 8 November, with a 5:54–7:50 pm local window. This Delhi example is not a timing for every location; check the source for your city and the practice your household follows.
Keep ready
- Your city or location
- Local panchang source
- Family availability
- A reminder for preparation time
Step by step
- 1Choose your city before reading a muhurat because sunrise, sunset and local calculations vary.
- 2Note the Lakshmi Puja date and the recommended evening window.
- 3Work backwards: finish cleaning, bathing, dressing and setup before the window begins.
- 4Keep a flexible family plan for travel, children and elders.
- 5Re-check the local panchang close to the festival if timings are updated.
Helpful notes
- Use only the calendar year and city you have checked, and confirm final timing with your trusted local source.
- Respect your family priest or regional calendar when it differs.
Plan ahead
Once you confirm a local window, work backwards to leave time for cleaning, dressing, arranging the chowki and preparing the offering. Record the source, city and year in your plan so a shared timing screenshot is not mistaken for universal guidance.
