Pandit Jagdish Sharma, a noted astrologer in Bhopal, has identified the window between 6:02 pm and 8:01 pm on Diwali as the most auspicious for performing Lakshmi and Ganesh puja. The timing aligns with a Taurus fixed ascendant, which is considered favorable for wealth‑related rituals. Additionally, the period falls within the Pradosh, a time traditionally associated with spiritual purification and blessings.
The astrologer emphasized that devotees should observe the prescribed rituals during this specific window to maximize the benefits of the puja. He also advised that the fixed ascendant in Taurus enhances the efficacy of the worship, potentially attracting prosperity and good fortune.
Local temples and households in Bhopal are expected to gather during this period, following the guidelines laid out by Pandit Sharma. The announcement has already prompted many families to plan their puja schedules accordingly.
While the focus remains on the auspicious timing, devotees are encouraged to prepare the necessary materials—such as flowers, incense, and sweets—well in advance to ensure a smooth and reverent ceremony.
