A child holds a candle in their yard in Feni, Bangladesh, on October 6, 2025. On the full moon night of autumn, lamps glow in Bengali homes; this is Kojagori Lakshmi Puja. According to tradition, on this night, Goddess Lakshmi descends to see who is awake to welcome her. Families clean their homes, light incense and lamps, and offer rice, fruits, and prayers. Goddess Lakshmi represents wealth, peace, and good fortune. Through her worship, people seek happiness in family life, progress in work, and overall well-being. Born from the churning of the cosmic ocean, she is still honored in rural Bengal as Dhan Lakshmi, where true prosperity comes not from gold but from faith and hard work.
