AGARTALA, Oct 18 (TIWN): Ahead of Laxmi puja, firecracker markets have been displayed.

The sales are yet to be started fully but businessmen are keeping their hopes up.

As Laxmi puja is celebrated home to home and children burn fire crackers traditionally, so profits are always expected on that occasion.

Laxmi puja will be celebrated tomorrow and in some houses from today 7.30 PM it will start.

Kojagari Puja is carried out on a full moon day in the month of Ashwin of the Hindu calendar. It is performed in honour of Goddess Lakshmi. This year, Kojagari Puja will be celebrated on 19 October. The Purnima tithi will begin at 07.03 pm on 19 October and end at 08.26 pm on 20 October.
