Goddess Lakshmi loves sweet things

There is a religious belief that Goddess Lakshmi loves sweet things very much. Therefore, on this day, Lakshmi Puja and Kumkumarchana are performed to get the blessings of Mother Goddess. It is said that eating sour things or sour food during puja is inauspicious. It is also believed that if women perform the puja while avoiding sour foods like tamarind, lemon, pickle, vinegar, orange, then the mother becomes happy soon.

From religious point of view, consumption of sour foods is considered an insult to Goddess Lakshmi. Due to this, positive energy does not enter the body. Fasting is also related to this.
