The five-day celebration starts on **Govatsa Dwadashi** and **Dhanteras**, continues with **Kali Chaudas** (Naraka Chaturdashi), the primary **Lakshmi-Ganesha Pujan** on Diwali Amavasya, **Govardhan Puja** (Annakut), and concludes with **Bhaiya Dooj**. Classical Vedic treatises prescribe that **Lakshmi Puja** is most auspiciously performed during **Pradosh Kaal** when **Sthira (Fixed) Vrishabha Lagna** prevails. A Sthira Lagna ensures that Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of divine wealth and spiritual abundance, resides permanently in the household or enterprise. Times are worked out for the place you have chosen (India until you choose one). For the whole day at your place, open the daily panchang.
