This traditional gathering during Diwali honored Goddess Laxmi, the divine symbol of wealth and abundance, with a sacred puja. Through the chanting of mantras and offering of flowers, sweets, and lamps, participants sought her blessings to bring prosperity and well-being to the Gurukul family.

Laxmi Pujan, performed on this auspicious occasion, reflects the community’s devotion to Goddess Laxmi and the hope for divine blessings in both personal and collective lives.
