A Nepali Hindu devotee offers butter-fed lamps under the decorated lights in the premises of a decked-up temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, as they prepare to celebrate Tihar or Diwali. During Tihar, people light up earthen lamps and candles in their homes for three days while performing Pooja of Goddess Laxmi. It is believed that Goddess Laxmi showers blessings on the houses that glow with lights throughout the night. Laxmi Pooja and the worship of the cow are performed on the same day because the goddess Laxmi emerges bearing a lotus along with a divine cow when the Devata (Gods) and Asuras (Demons) churn the ocean of milk (Ksheera Sagara), as stated in the Vishnu Purana. On the occasion of Laxmi Pooja, also known as Diwali, people in Nepal and India do not let any nook and corner of the house remain dark and light up lamps, candles, and lights, appealing to Goddess Laxmi to shower blessings on them. The Pooja is especially done by the ladies of the family in the presence of all the members, reciting the Sri Sukta hymn with the offering of coconut, which is believed to appease Goddess Laxmi.
