• Amavasya date ends: Till 01:19 pm on 21st October 2025.

Do not do any auspicious work even by mistake during this time (inauspicious period)

1. Shadow of Bhadra:
In astrology, Bhadra period is considered very inauspicious for any auspicious or auspicious work. The happy thing is that this year on Diwali, there will be no shadow of Bhadra at the time of Lakshmi Puja.

• Bhadra time: From 04:51 am to 03:39 pm.
  Since Bhadra will end in the afternoon itself and the puja muhurat is in the evening, you can perform the puja without any worries.

2. Time of Rahukaal:
Every day there is a time of about 90 minutes, which is called Rahukaal. During this time also, doing any new or auspicious work is prohibited.

• Rahukaal time: From 07:51 am to 09:16 am.
  This time is also in the morning, hence it will not have any impact on Lakshmi Puja to be held in the evening.

This year, the time of Lakshmi Puja on Diwali is free from both Bhadra and Rahukaal, which makes it even more auspicious and fruitful. Therefore, worship Goddess Lakshmi with full devotion at the mentioned auspicious time so that her blessings always remain on you and your family.
