In Hindu tradition, Lakshmi, also spelled Laxmi, is the goddess of wealth, fortune, prosperity, and beauty, and the consort of Vishnu. She is honored as the source of both material abundance and spiritual richness, and is especially celebrated at Diwali, the festival of lights, when households clean and light their homes to welcome her in to bless the year ahead. She is often shown seated on a lotus, with gold coins flowing from her hand.

Burning incense before an image of the divine is a real practice within Hinduism, part of puja, and devotees offer it to Lakshmi as a focus for prayer. Hinduism is a living tradition of more than a billion people, with its own teachers, temples, and forms; what is offered here is incense, and those who wish to learn the practice properly should learn it from Hindus. The incense works alongside your devotion rather than promising any particular outcome.

1. Set a stick in a heat safe incense holder or ash catcher, near an image of Lakshmi if you keep one.
2. Light the coated tip, let it catch, then gently fan out the flame so it smolders.
3. Offer the smoke with respect as you welcome prosperity and fortune, or simply honor Lakshmi.
4. Burn it at Diwali, when the tradition especially welcomes her, or in daily devotion.
5. Allow the ash to cool completely before disposing, and never leave burning incense unattended.
