About this ceremony
Sacred Mantra
ॐ
“Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahaalakshmyai Namah”
What it feels like
Lotus seeds and ghee fall into the fire as the Sri Sukta is sung, and the air seems to turn golden. The Maha Lakshmi Homa is less a request for wealth than an invitation — for grace, abundance and auspiciousness to come and make their home with you.

Performed in the authentic VDS Vaidic paddhati — Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, Kalasha Sthapana, Punyahavachanam, the consecration of Agni, the deity's offerings, and the final Purnahuti.
