Mahalaxmi Vrat 2025: This year, the Mahalaxmi Vrat will be celebrated for 16 days and will conclude on Sunday, September 14. This fast begins on Shukla Ashtami of the month of Bhadrapada and continues until Krishna Ashtami of the month of Ashwin, falling during the Pitru Paksha period. During this fast, devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi and offer her favorite delicacies, especially Malpua. Observing this fast maintains wealth, happiness, prosperity, and positive energy in the family.
Udyapan of the Fast
The Udyapan of the Mahalaxmi Vrat is performed on the final day of the fast. After 16 days of regular worship and observance, devotees should perform a special puja for Goddess Lakshmi and prepare her favorite offerings. Offering these delicacies to married women is considered auspicious. Additionally, presenting them with items for adornment is part of the tradition. It is believed that tying the 16-knot thread worn during the puja at Goddess Lakshmi's feet at the end of the fast and then re-tying it leads to more auspicious results from the observance.
Goddess Lakshmi's Favorite Offering
On the day of Gajalakshmi Vrat, offerings dear to Goddess Lakshmi are presented to her. On this occasion, offering Malpua specifically is considered highly auspicious and fruitful. According to astrology and worship traditions, offering Malpua pleases Goddess Lakshmi swiftly, and she bestows her grace upon her devotees. Observing this day correctly and methodically is considered particularly beneficial for wealth, happiness, and prosperity in life.
