Therefore, devotees believe that we need to give the Supreme mother a special place in their hearts and homes.

Decorate your threshold with fresh mango leaves. They are considered to be very auspicious. These are considered to be very dear to Goddess Lakshmi and is said to please her easily.
Feed Cows And Calves
The sacred cow is much revered in India and more so during festivals. Our very existence is due to the sacred cow. Cow milk is used in 'abhishekams' or holy bath of the Goddess and the preparation of the 'prasad' (holy food) or 'naivedhiyam'. It is believed that the Lord Krishna loved the cows and hence it is said that Goddess Mahalakshmi too likes this humble animal.
Hence, feed the cows with fresh grass, bananas and jaggery. It is believed that more than a thousand gods reside in the cow and Mahalakshmi is the most prominent of all.
The Lotus Flower
The lotus flower is believed to be the throne of the Goddess Lakshmi. This is the reason lotus holds a special significance for its ability to retain purity even if it grows in marshes. Therefore, devotees use this flower in most of the rituals as it is seen as a symbolic of a beautiful life.

It is said that when the shank is blown, the sound of ''OM'' vibrates and fills the air, which is belived to the highest frequency word. The ''OM'' is none other than Lord Vishnu himself and it means "I the being".
