Santana Lakshmi Vratam is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi and
it is performed for having good and healthy children. Santan Lakshmi Vrat is
usually performed on Thursday.
The devotee performing the fast should keep the house neat
and clean. He/She should take early bath.
First prayer is offered to Lord Ganesha and then prayers are
offered to the Santana Lakshmi form of Goddess Lakshmi.
A fast is observed from sunrise to sunset.
Older people and those who have various medical conditions
should not observe the strict fast. Such people should eat fruits and other
Vrat foods or opt for partial fasting.
Various prayers dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi should be
chanted on the day.
Try to keep silence and meditate on the day.
Performing Annadanam or food donation on the day to poor
children is highly meritorious. You can also distribute dress materials.
The fast ends after evening prayers– with the preparation of
