On lakshmi Puja in nepal, people buy gold and silver, precious gemstones, new utensils of copper, brass and bronze as a sign of good luck, prosperity, money and wealth. These are then used to worship lakshmi at night.
Nepalese people perform this worship at a place cleansed with holy water, cow dung and red mud; they light the whole house with candles and lamps. From lakshmi Puja, Deusi and Bhailo is played by gathering with friends.
