Lakshmi pooja timing in Bengaluru
Lakshmi pooja is done in the Pradosh Kaal — the twilight soon after sunset — on the Amavasya evening of Sunday, 8 November 2026. For Bengaluru this year the recommended window is roughly 6:29 pm to 8:29 pm, falling within the Pradosh period of about 6:01 pm to 8:40 pm.
Because the Pradosh Kaal depends on the exact sunset for your location, treat this as a guide and confirm the precise muhurta with a local panchanga or your purohith — especially if you are planning a full abhisheka and vidhi.
ಪೂರ್ವ ಸಿದ್ಧತೆ
A quick pre-Deepavali checklist
- Clean the home and pooja room a day or two before.
- Buy fresh lamps, wicks, oil/ghee and a new coin for the kalasha.
- Arrange flowers, fruits, sweets and pooja items ahead of the weekend rush.
- If you want a purohith for the evening pooja, book two to three weeks in advance — Deepavali slots fill fast.
