How to Observe Mahalaxmi Vrat 2025 – Fulfill Your Wealth-Related Desires

Every year, Mahalaxmi Vrat begins on the Ashtami Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month and concludes on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the Ashwin month. This year, Mahalaxmi Vrat 2025 started on 31st August 2025 and will end tomorrow, 14th September 2025 (Sunday). Let’s understand how to conclude Mahalaxmi Vrat properly.

Perform the Puja with This Method (Mahalaxmi Puja Vidhi)

On the last day of Mahalaxmi Vrat, wake up early in the morning, take a bath, and thoroughly clean your puja space. Then, place the idol or picture of Goddess Lakshmi. Also, keep gold and silver coins at the altar. At the beginning of the vrat, devotees tie a thread with 16 knots. On the final day, during evening puja, tie the same red thread with 16 knots around your wrist. After this, light 16 ghee lamps in front of Goddess Mahalaxmi and worship her with devotion. On the next day, place the thread with 16 knots in your locker or treasury. Keeping this sacred thread ensures that your house never faces a shortage of wealth and prosperity.

Mahalaxmi Vrat – Offer These Items

During Mahalaxmi Vrat, always ensure that the offerings are in multiples of sixteen. For example, 16 cloves, 16 cardamoms, or 16 items of adornment. You may also offer kumkum, sugar drops (batasha), conch, lotus seeds, makhana, rice, and flowers to Goddess Lakshmi.
