🪔 Why Worship Lakshmi and Ganesha Together?

Maa Lakshmi bestows wealth, abundance, and good fortune, while Lord Ganesha ensures wisdom and removes obstacles. Their combined worship ensures that the blessings you receive are stable, fruitful, and long-lasting.
In most Hindu homes, the two deities are seated together—Ganesha on the left and Lakshmi on the right—to symbolize balance between material and spiritual well-being.

🔱 Step-by-Step Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja Vidhi

1. Cleanse & Decorate the Space

• Decorate the space with flowers, diyas, and rangoli.
• Place a red or yellow cloth on the chowki and keep the Lakshmi-Ganesha idols facing east or west.

2. Kalash Sthapana

• Begin by placing the Gold & Silver Plated Nariyal Kalash (with coconut atop) on a clean, elevated base (on a red or yellow cloth)
• Fill a Kalash with water, place a coconut on top wrapped in red cloth, and tie a kalava (sacred thread) or you can keep gold 
• Keep it near the idols as a symbol of life and creation.
