Sharad Purnima, also known as Kojagiri Purnima, marks a night filled with divine energy and prosperity. On this auspicious occasion, devotees perform Lakshmi Puja and Chandra Puja to attract abundance, health, and happiness into their lives. It is believed that on this night, Goddess Lakshmi descends to bless devotees who remain awake and perform the Puja with devotion.

The ritual involves setting up a beautifully decorated altar with idols or pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu, along with offerings of kheer (sweet rice pudding), fruits, flowers, and diyas. The kheer is placed under the moonlight to absorb divine nectar, symbolizing health and prosperity. The ceremony includes chanting of Lakshmi mantras, Chandra Puja, Havan, and Aarti.

Sharad Purnima Puja not only attracts wealth and spiritual harmony but also brings peace, calmness, and positive energy to homes. It is ideal for families, couples, and business owners seeking long-term prosperity and emotional well-being.
