One of the most widespread and beautiful festivals devoted to Lakshmi is Diwali, the festival of lights. Diwali is a 4-5 day celebration beginning on the lunar New Year, which falls sometime between October or November, depending on the year. The festival is a time to celebrate the victory of good over evil and injustice, and to pray to Goddess Lakshmi to renew the health, wealth, and prosperity of households, businesses, and farms in the New Year.
