Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty, fertility and prosperity and is worshipped during the 5 day long festival of Diwali.

The origins of Diwali came from the Indian subcontinent and began as celebrations of harvest festivals which merged together to create this 5-day long festival of lights that celebrates the Hindu gods Rama, Lakshmi and Krishna, among others. Although it originated in Hinduism, this holiday is celebrated by Jains and Sikhs as well as it marks important events in their religions. The days of celebration change every year but occur most commonly between mid-October and early November. Each day of the festival is notable for its own reason, with the third day being the most significant as it specifically celebrates Lakshmi Puja.
