### Elements of Diwali Pat Lakshmi Sadhana:

1. **Timing**: This sadhana is ideally performed on Diwali night, particularly during the **Pradosh Kaal** or when the night is darkest (known as the **Amavasya**).

  

2. **Preparations**:

   - A clean and sacred space should be set up for the sadhana.

   - A small altar is made with an image or idol of **Maa Lakshmi**.

   - The use of **saffron**, **kumkum**, **rose petals**, and **incense** enhances the ritual.

   - Lighting a **ghee lamp (diya)** is essential as it symbolizes purity and the removal of darkness from life.

3. **Mantras**: 

   - **Lakshmi Mantras** like “**Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namah**” are chanted during the ritual to invoke the blessings of Lakshmi.

   - Some also recite **Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali**, a list of 108 names of the goddess.

4. **Offering (Bhog)**: Offering items such as sweets, fruits, and rice to Goddess Lakshmi shows devotion and invites blessings.

5. **Meditation & Visualization**: The practitioner focuses on visualizing Goddess Lakshmi in their heart, showering blessings of wealth, health, and happiness. Concentrating on the flow of divine energy is key to this sadhana.
