Diwali 2024: Diwali, the biggest festival of Hindus, will be celebrated for two days this year. Diwali is on both 31st October and 1st November 2024. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped during Pradosh period. It is believed that on this day the night goddess Lakshmi roams the earth.
By worshiping Goddess Lakshmi at an auspicious time on Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi resides in the house. Goddess Lakshmi is considered very fickle. In such a situation, some work should not be done even by mistake on the day of Diwali. It is better to stay away from these evils, otherwise Goddess Lakshmi comes to the doorstep and returns back. Know which things should not be done on Diwali.
What not to do on Diwali (Diwali Dos and Donts)
- Keep track of time – Do not sleep till late in the morning on Diwali. Wake up before sunrise and concentrate on worship, because the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi do not shower on those who sleep till late even after sunrise.
- nails-hair- Activities like cutting nails and shaving are not done on the day of Diwali. This leads to poverty.

Even on the day of Diwali, clean the house early in the morning and remove the garbage from the house.
- Sweeping time – Keep in mind that do not sweep the house on the evening of Diwali. Lakshmi goes away by sweeping after sunset. Neither step on the broom. Broom is a symbol of Mother Lakshmi.
