On the third day of Deepawali, or
Tihar, Laxmi Puja is being celebrated with jubilation and various religious
rituals across the country and abroad. Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth, is being
worshipped across the country by lighting oil lamps and candles inside and
outside of the houses to light up the path of Goddess Laxmi so as to welcome
her. Nepali Hindus worship Goddess Laxmi in the evening today wishing for a
happy life with financial or economic prosperity. Houses are illuminated with
colourful and decorative lights in the belief that Goddess Laxmi does not
visit places that are not properly illuminated. With Laxmi Puja begin
cultural programmes like ‘Deusi’ and ‘Bhailo’, where people, said to be sent
by the king Bali, visit different homes singing and dancing.
