Many of these legends are about how good triumphs against evil.

Puja Method and Rituals of Lakshmi Puja
For Lakshmi Puja on Diwali, most Hindu families decorate their homes and workplaces with marigold flowers and leaves of Ashoka, mango and banana. It is considered auspicious to place Manglik Kalash on top of unpeeled coconut on either side of the main door of the house. Most of the puja is traditionally performed after a day’s fast. For this reason, devotees keep a day’s fast on the day of Lakshmi Puja. The fast is broken in the evening after Lakshmi Puja.

Lakshmi Puja Muhurta and Timings
On Diwali, Lakshmi Puja should be performed during Pradosh Kaal, which starts after sunset and lasts for about 2 hours 24 minutes. The best time for Lakshmi Puja is during the Pradosh period, when a stable lagna reigns. Stir means “steady,” as in “not moving.” If Lakshmi Puja is performed during a stable lagna, then Lakshmiji will reside in your house.
