Diwali 2027: Dates & Vastu Crystals for Lakshmi Puja
The five days of Deepavali 2027, what to buy on Dhanteras, and exactly where to place wealth crystals as per Vastu.
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027 is on Fri, 29 Oct 2027, when Kartik Amavasya prevails during the evening pradosh period. The festival opens with Dhanteras on Wed, 27 Oct 2027 — traditionally the most auspicious day of the year to buy gold, silver and, increasingly, wealth crystals like pyrite and citrine.
Diwali 2027: the five days
| Festival | Date | Crystal focus |
|---|---|---|
| Dhanteras | Wed, 27 Oct 2027 | Buy & cleanse wealth stones (pyrite, citrine, sphatik) |
| Naraka Chaturdashi (Chhoti Diwali) | Thu, 28 Oct 2027 | Cleanse the home; black tourmaline at the entrance |
| Lakshmi Puja (Diwali) | Fri, 29 Oct 2027 | Energise stones on the altar, then place them |
| Govardhan Puja | Sat, 30 Oct 2027 | Gratitude; green aventurine for abundance |
| Bhai Dooj | Sun, 31 Oct 2027 | Gift crystals to siblings |
Choti Diwali (Naraka Chaturdashi) 2027: date and tithi
Chaturdashi runs Wed 27 Oct, 10:50 pm to Thu 28 Oct, 8:49 pm IST, so it covers the pre-dawn hours of Thu, 28 Oct 2027 — the time traditionally used for Abhyanga Snan (the early oil bath). Choti Diwali is therefore Thu, 28 Oct 2027. Some calendars list a different day when they count Chaturdashi at the evening lamp-lighting (Yama Deepam); confirm with your local Panchang.
Lakshmi Puja 2027: Amavasya tithi and Pradosh Kaal
Amavasya begins Thu 28 Oct, 8:49 pm and ends Fri 29 Oct, 7:07 pm IST. Because it is in force at sunset on Fri, 29 Oct 2027, Lakshmi Puja is observed that evening, in the Pradosh Kaal that follows sunset.

Lakshmi Puja ke liye crystal (Hinglish quick guide)
- Pyrite (Sona Makhi): puja thali par rakhein, puja ke baad tijori ya North disha mein.
- Citrine (Sunela): vyapar aur cash flow ke liye, dukaan ke counter par.
- Sphatik (clear quartz): Lakshmi–Ganesh ki murti ya Shree Yantra ke saath altar par.
- Green aventurine: business desk par, North disha mein.
Ye sab paramparik maanyata hain — koi guarantee nahi. Pehle asli-nakli test zaroor karein.
What to buy on Dhanteras 2027
Festival season is when the most fake pyrite and heat-treated "citrine" is sold. The real vs fake crystal tester walks you through quick home checks before you pay.
Diwali Vastu crystals: pre-Diwali cleanse
- Declutter the North (Kubera zone) and North-East first — these should be the lightest, cleanest parts of the home.
- Cleanse every crystal you own with smoke (loban or camphor) or on a selenite plate. Never wash pyrite or selenite.
- Place black tourmaline on both sides inside the main door to guard against nazar during the busy festive days.
Where to place crystals for Lakshmi Puja
- During the puja: keep new stones on the puja thali beside the Lakshmi–Ganesh idols and coins.
- Mantra: chant Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah 108 times while holding the stones.
- After the puja: pyrite and citrine go into the cash locker (tijori) or the North of your desk; a clear quartz stays in the puja room.
- Shops & offices: a pyrite cluster near the cash counter and green aventurine in the North of the work desk.
