In pictures: Lakshmi Puja celebrations in USA

USA — Nepalis living in the United States celebrated Lakshmi Puja with great enthusiasm and devotion. As winter has just begun in the U.S. and Lakshmi Puja fell on Thursday, the festival has already been completed in many states.

In some cities across the country, Lakshmi Puja is just starting. Similar to Nepal, worship materials are readily available in many places in the U.S., allowing the Nepali community to gather items such as puja materials, lamps, water pots, fruits, and sweets.
