    What It Is

    The new moon night of Kartika — the darkest night of the year is met with the greatest offering of light. Celebrates Rama's return to Ayodhya, Lakshmi's blessing of prosperity, and the victory of inner light over inner darkness.

    How to Observe It

    Light lamps or candles in every room at dusk. Clean and beautify your space to welcome Lakshmi. Give something generously — money, food, forgiveness. Darkness has no power where lamps are lit.
