Mahalakshmi is worshiped for good luck, wealth and credit. Goddess Mahalakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, visited the earth on the night of Kojagrata Purnima and said, ‘Who is awake?’ There is a religious belief that those who watch and worship Goddess Mahalakshmi while awake will be blessed and blessed with wealth. The word “to wake fast” is Kojagrata. It implies that Mother Mahalakshmi should pay a visit to anyone who is awake and has broken their fast.
