Spiritual

Mid-Dec to mid-Jan hindus avoid mundane activities to ensure complete focus on God.we do many spiritual activities because elders said one day worship during this period is equaling 1000 years of worship.as a part of this, we did rangoli and lit diyas at temple. How it is ?

They look beautiful. The main Lakshmi puja is yet to come on the 13th and 14th of January where we pray the Goddess for abundance.

@Kusumakrishna If according to my religion it is an obligation in my area, I don't know how to respond to it in your area, because our religions are different.

@Kusumakrishna No problem, Lord Shiva, Lord ShriRam and Lord ShriKrishn all are the manifestations of the same God. We all are His children.
