On this day, people pray to the gods Lakshmi, Ganesh, and Kubera and make wishes for health, wealth, and prosperity.

Diwali Puja, on the third day (Diwali), is the most important day of five-days long festivities. While early in the morning, prayers are offered to their ancestors, Shradh is performed on Amavasya.
