Friday Home Cleansing for Wealth
A simple home-cleansing routine to welcome Maa Lakshmi
Golden Rule
Maa Lakshmi dwells where there is cleanliness, light and fragrance. Friday (Shukra-vaar) is the best day to invite her.
8 Steps to Cleanse Your Home
Declutter first
Remove broken, unused or long-idle items, old newspapers and dead plants — clutter blocks the flow of wealth.
Clear corners & cobwebs
Dust ceiling corners, ledges and crevices — Lakshmi dwells in clean, well-lit spaces.
Mop with rock-salt water
Add a pinch of rock salt (sendha namak) to the mopping water — it neutralises negative energy.
Main door & threshold
Lakshmi enters through the main door — wash it, draw a haldi-kumkum swastika and hang a toran.
Rangoli / footprints at the door
Draw a lotus or Lakshmi's footprints on the threshold facing inward (towards the home).
Cleanse the wealth-corner (north)
Keep the north (Kuber direction) clean and clutter-free; a money-plant or the safe is auspicious here.
Fragrance & fresh flowers
Scent the space with rose/lotus, incense or camphor.
Ghee lamp at dusk
Light a ghee diya near the main door and tulsi during Pradosh Kaal (dusk).
