Significance and Celebrations

According to religious beliefs, it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi was born on this day, i.e. on the day of Phalguna Purnima during the great churning of the milky ocean which is popularly known as Samudra Manthan. The day hence holds great significance as the day of Phalguna Purnima mostly coincides with Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Hence, Uttara Phalguni is also associated with Lakshmi Jayanti.

Lakshmi Jayanti is observed mainly in South India and it is less known in North Indian states and revolves around performing Lakshmi Puja and making various offerings to the Goddess. People perform Lakshmi Homam on Lakshmi Jayanti and Goddess Lakshmi Sahasranamavali i.e. 1008 names of Goddess Lakshmi and Shri Suktam are recited. Also, devotees dip lotus flowers in honey and are used for Ahuti to please the Goddess, and seek the blessings of Lakshmi Devi by worshipping her with devotion.
