As Diwali, the Festival of Lights, approaches on November 12, homes are getting a thorough cleaning and decluttering. Diwali holds a special place in the hearts of millions, not only in India but around the world. It’s a time when homes come alive with the glow of diyas, and joy and laughter fill the air. To make this auspicious occasion even more special, it’s crucial to consider Vastu tips that can enhance positive energy and please Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity.
Cleanliness and decluttering are fundamental Vastu principles during Diwali. It’s not just about physical tidiness but also the removal of negative energy, creating space for positive vibes to enter. A spotless home is an invitation for the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
One unique way to enhance positive energy and appease the Goddess is by incorporating Feng Shui gift items into your Diwali celebrations. Pavnendra Bhadauria, the Founder of Artarium, a luxury home decor brand, suggests that gifting Feng Shui items can be a thoughtful and auspicious gesture during Diwali.
Mr. Pavnendra explains, “Feng shui as a philosophy complements this as a way of arranging objects in homes and rooms to increase ‘chi’ or energy, to bring harmony and balance. Feng shui rests on balancing the opposing but complementary elements, yin and yang. Positive ‘chi’ is believed to bring luck and prosperity.”
