**New Delhi, November 15, 2024:** Today marks Kartik Purnima, an auspicious occasion celebrated with special significance for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi. According to astrology, chanting Lakshmi and Moon mantras is believed to bring prosperity, mental peace, and strengthen the Moon’s position in one’s horoscope, leading to happiness, tranquility, and freedom from diseases.

The day holds special significance for donations, with offerings like grains, clothes, yogurt, ghee, sugar, silver, and sesame seeds believed to please Goddess Lakshmi and bring abundance. Performing a lamp donation, deep-daan, and specifically worshipping Goddess Lakshmi is believed to enhance auspicious results.
