Note: I recommend you to get your Horoscope done, so that if some other treatment is needed. If some planet is at wrong place we should first block it so that it does not keep on spoiling your whole Pooja Experience. Same as If you keep on putting water into a utensil which has got a hole in it then the water will keep on leaking.

It is your choice - otherwise if you do not get the results you may call it fake Pooja, which may put you into more trouble.

Please stay on Fruits, Juice, milk, tea or coffee during the day, after the pooja you can have hot meal with Roasted or boiled potatoes, Kachaloo or Shakarkand. Absolutely No Onion, Garlic or Grains.

Please do this puja with dedication and devotion. We would like to have your feed back after this!

Shri Lakshmi ji ki Aarti

Jai lakshmi maataa, Maiyaa jaya lakshmi maataa Tumako nishadina dhyaavata, Hara vishnu vidhaataa
