Diwali, the festival of lights, brings happiness, prosperity, and spiritual well-being. Worship of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha is central to this celebration. Besides cleaning and decorating homes, wearing the right colors during Lakshmi Puja plays a significant role in attracting her blessings.
The auspicious colors loved by Goddess Lakshmi include:
-
Yellow and Gold: Symbolize wealth, success, and brightness, representing the sun and fire elements. Wearing yellow or gold during the puja invites prosperity and positive energy.
-
Red: Denotes divine energy, strength, confidence, and good fortune. Red attire like sarees, kurtas, or dupattas helps invoke blessings of power and love.
-
Green: Represents growth, stability, and progress, governed by Mercury. Wearing green improves financial well-being and opens opportunities.
-
Blue (Light Shades): Symbolizes peace, honesty, and mental calm. Light blues like sky blue offer protection from negative energy and enhance tranquility.
-
White: Signifies purity, simplicity, and spiritual peace, associated with the moon. White or off-white clothes foster mental peace during worship.
Colors to Avoid: Black is considered inauspicious during Diwali and should be avoided as it symbolizes negativity and sadness. Also, avoid old or torn clothes; always wear clean, new, and vibrant attire.
