Kojagori Lakshmi Puja, a significant Hindu festival, is celebrated with great devotion and reverence, primarily in West Bengal, Assam, and Odisha. It is observed on the full moon night (Purnima) of the Ashwin month, usually in October, and is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, prosperity, and well-being. This festival holds a unique place in Hindu culture as it symbolizes the invocation of abundance and good fortune for households and businesses. Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, is believed to visit homes during this time, blessing devotees with financial prosperity and peace. Families, especially women, take an active role in preparing for this auspicious occasion by cleaning and decorating their homes, lighting oil lamps, and drawing beautiful "alpana" or rangoli designs. These elaborate preparations are intended to invite the goddess to bless their homes.

Kojagori Lakshmi Puja is also referred to as "Sharad Purnima," marking the harvest season’s arrival, which is another reason for the festival’s association with abundance and wealth. The term "Kojagori" is derived from the Sanskrit phrase "Ko jagorti?" meaning "Who is awake?" It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi visits only those homes where the inhabitants remain awake and pray to her on this full moon night. To honor this belief, devotees perform all-night vigils, singing devotional songs, and offering prayers to the goddess. Lakshmi is not just the symbol of material wealth but also spiritual prosperity, making the puja a deeply meaningful ritual for those seeking balance in both.
During the puja, offerings of sweets, fruits, and other delicacies are made, and the goddess is worshipped in her full splendor, adorned with flowers, jewelry, and lamps. The festival fosters a sense of unity among family members, as they come together to perform rituals and offer prayers, seeking the blessings of Lakshmi for prosperity, peace, and success. In contemporary times, Kojagori Lakshmi Puja continues to be an important celebration in Hindu households, blending traditional values with modern aspirations for a prosperous and fulfilled life. This celebration reflects the timeless Hindu belief in the divine connection between spiritual purity and material abundance.
