Diwali (Laxmi Puja) in Chennai
Calculated coordinates: 13.0827° N, 80.2707° E | Timezone: Asia/Kolkata
🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! In 2026, Diwali falls uniquely early. On September 26, the Sun will be in Virgo, emphasizing precision and service. The Moon will be in Virgo as well, forming a beautiful conjunction with the Sun—an Amavasya Tithi perfect for spiritual purification. Saturn will be retrograding in Pisces, urging us to shed old karmic burdens. For Chennai, perform Puja during the Pradosh Kaal. This alignment favors introspection and clearing debts. **Remedy:** Light a ghee diya facing North-East to invite divine clarity. Offer five lotus flowers to Maa Laxmi, praying for stability amidst these shifting planetary energies. May your home be blessed with eternal prosperity!
🕉️ Vedic Remedies & Upayas
Light 11 clay diyas with ghee, keep main doors open during Vrishabha Lagna, and chant Lakshmi Beej Mantra: "Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamale Kamalaalaye Praseed Praseed".
Cleanse the home before starting the puja. Fast from sunrise until the computed tithi or moonrise. Offer fresh sweets, coconuts, and betel leaves to the deity.
