Jaipur will observe the Lakshmi‑Ganesh puja on Diwali between 6:03 pm and 7:59 pm, aligning with the Pradosh period and Taurus (Vrishabha) fixed lagna.
Jaipur city will mark the Diwali celebrations with a dedicated Lakshmi‑Ganesh puja scheduled from 6:03 pm to 7:59 pm, according to the auspicious muhurat announced by local priests. The timing falls within the traditional Pradosh period, a time considered especially favorable for worship of the goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh.
Astrologers have identified the window as coinciding with the Vrishabha (Taurus) fixed lagna, a planetary alignment that is believed to enhance the efficacy of the rituals. Devotees are advised to begin the ceremony at the start of the muhurat and conclude before the end of the stipulated period to reap the full spiritual benefits.
As the puja proceeds, homes, markets and commercial establishments across Jaipur will be illuminated with oil lamps and electric lights, creating a vibrant festive atmosphere. Residents are expected to perform the rites at home altars or in community halls, following the prescribed chants and offerings.
The city administration has coordinated with local authorities to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety during the evening celebrations, allowing citizens to focus on the religious observance without logistical concerns.
