A simple Lakshmi Puja at home
- Clean the puja place and light diyas at the door before sunset.
- Place Lakshmi and Ganesha (idols or a picture) on a red cloth with a kalash of water, rice, flowers and sweets.
- Begin with Ganesha, then take a sankalp with your names, gotra, city and the date.
- Offer kumkum, flowers, sweets and coins to Lakshmi; chant "Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah" 108 times if you can.
- Finish with aarti and share prasad; keep a lamp burning through the night.
Samagri you cannot find in Melbourne can usually be replaced: any clean red cloth, local flowers, and sweets from an Indian grocer.

No. It is calculated from your own sunset and from the sign rising over your city, so it is a different clock time from the India muhurat. Converting the India time gives the wrong answer.
