Bengali Kojagori laxmi puja 2020 - Manual / Vidhi / Procedure

Hi everyone,

Tamali this side. Hope you are enjoying the festive season as much as I do. After marriage this year 2020 was our ist laxmi puja at home. I was extra excited and nervous as well.As there were no elders in my home to guide in person ,my aim was to complete everything seamlessly.

So, I decided to create a step by step blueprint of Kojagori laxmi puja procedure to help others who are newbies just starting or experienced who want to have everything at one place.

This post I will describe the Pre Laxmi Puja preparation process, what to buy, checking the time etc. In coming posts will describe the actual puja process :

Step by step process of Kojagori Laxmi Puja :

1) Look for the date of laxmi puja in panjika or panchang. In 2020 , The date falls both on 30th Oct and 31st Oct based on the tithi. In 2020 Purnima started from 5.30 pm 30th Oct and continues to 8.20 pm 31st Oct.

At my parents house, they did the puja on 30th Oct but we at our home did it on 31st Oct.But ideally it should be done at evening time as Kojagori means - "Ke Jage" i.e "who is awake". Laxmi thakur will enter their house who will wake up lighting a lamp amnd wait for laxmi ji.

Bottomline is based on the lagna tithi perform the Kojagori Laxmi Puja at your home.

Here is an online Bengali Panjika

You can also take a help from Thakurmosai / brahmin / Panditji.

2) List down the things needed for Laxmi Puja.

We have divided it into 3 parts - 

i) Dry ingredients shopping which can be bought a week back and doesn't go bad over time.

ii) Bhog ingredients shopping. Things we need need to make laxmi puja bhog. This you can buy 1/2 days back. Also laxmi ji murti/ sora we need to buy the previous day.

iii) The Puja day shopping. Things which can be bought only on the day of Puja.

 I have documented the shopping list inside the ebook I have created specially for my readers.
