The ultimate Diwali pooja items list

Here is the ultimate Diwali pooja items list that you will need for every Diwali pooja, to help make your pooja a success.
 

1. Laxmi Murti

Laxmi Murti

The first and most important element in your Diwali pooja items list will be the god idols for gift. This means, you will need to have a laxmi mata murti, whom you will be worshipping on Diwali night. You can also go for a combined Marble Laxmi Ganesh White Murti Statue for Home Decor, as Laxmi and Ganesh Ji are always worshipped together.

2. Fruits

Another very important element that needs to be present on the Diwali pooja items list is fruits. Fruits, sweets and even vegetables at times are given as offerings to appease the lord. While most use a prasad thali to keep the fruits, you can also go with a Stackable Rolling Metal Wire Basket With Wheels And Cover (2 Tier) In White For Kitchen Decor, to keep them fresh and right next to you in the pooja room.

3. Coconut

In Indian pooja rituals, coconut is always considered to be an important offering. A beautiful and fresh coconut should always be present in your Diwali pooja items list. The coconut will be broken in front of the god and then will be given out as prasad to others.

4. Ghee

Ghee

Aside from coconut, ghee is the next important material that will need to be present in the Diwali pooja items list. Ghee is used as a purity element in the pooja and is required to be given as prasad, to make the charanamrit and also during the havan pooja.

5. Lamp

Diwali is known as the festival of lights, which means that in your Diwali pooja items list lamps and urlis should always take center stage. You can choose some beautiful Urli Diya and add it next to the pooja mandap. You can also use the home decor lamps to light up your house and decorate it for Diwali celebrations.

6. Agarbatti or Incense sticks

The presence of incense sticks or agarbatti is a must-have item for your diwali pooja items list. The incense sticks help create a pious and cosy atmosphere that adds to the piety of your home. It is suggested that you have a brass agarbatti holder like our Akhand Jyot for Pooja Loban Incense Burner with Handle as it adds to the aesthetic of the pooja room. This are also very sturdy and last you for a long time.

7. Pooja Thali

The most essential item that needs to be present in your Diwali pooja items list is that of a Puja Thali Set. This set will include all the essential pooja bartans, such as kumkum and haldi holder. The thali will be used during the entire rituals and thereby is an important element that needs to be present.

8. Flowers

No pooja can be deemed as complete if you do not have some fresh flowers to accompany it. The use of fresh flowers and flower garlands are a necessity for your Diwali pooja items list. The flowers will be used during the mangal aarti and pushpanjali and hence need to be always present.

9. Chowki

Another important element that will need to be added to your Diwali pooja items list is that of a chowki or a small table. Not all homes have a proper mandap present, hence the best alternative will be to go for a chowki. Here the Laxmi idol will be placed and the pooja will be conducted. If you do not have a chowki at hand, you can also go for any wooden table design for home, to help keep the idols on top of it.

10. Haldi and Kumkum

Haldi and Kumkum

To maintain the piety of the traditions, the elements of kumkum and haldi should be present on your Diwali pooja items list. These elements are required during the entire pooja and are used as a marker to welcome the blessings of prosperity and abundance from the god.

11. Camphor

The use of camphor is very essential for Diwali pooja. Camphor is again an element that is considered to be pious and holy as it helps remove all bad energies and negativities from your home. It brings fresh scent and thereby is a must have item for your diwali pooja items list. The camphor will be used during aarti and havan to help preserve the piousness of the pooja.

12. Chandan, Roli and Chawal

The pooja celebrations require the presence of Chandan along with kumkum and haldi. Chandan is an element that needs to be made from Chandan wood and is considered to be an important offering for lord Narayana. This is an essential item that will be required on every Diwali pooja items list. Roli is mostly used for tilak, and it has a dark red hue and is different from kumkum. Chawal essentially means rice, and it is used together with Roli for tilak.

13. Sweets

Sweets

Indian celebrations will be deemed incomplete if you do not have some tasty sweets and snacks present in your home. For your Diwali pooja items list, sweets are a must as they are given as offerings to the lord. The exchange of sweets during Diwali in itself is an important tradition and hence needs to be conducted with joy.

14. Janeu

Janeu

Janeu is an important element for your Diwali pooja items list. It is a sacred thread that is tied around the body of Lord Narayana, the husband of Mata Laxmi. The janeu is given as an offering to the lord to appease him and welcome Mata Laxmi to your homes.

15. Cotton

The presence of cotton is another important element for the Diwali pooja items list. Cotton is used as a wick and for other purposes throughout the entire pooja. The use of cotton or silk is always traditionally used, to help preserve the purity of the pooja.

16. Panchamrit

The panchamrit is an essential part of the pooja and must be present in your Diwali pooja items list. This is made from a total of five components namely ghee, milk, honey, curd and Ganga water. Together they are considered as amrit or divine items that are required for all types of pooja.
