Kojagori Lakshmi Puja, also known as Kojagori Vrat or Bengali Lakshmi Puja, is a grand festival celebrated in West Bengal, Odisha, and Assam. Observed on the full moon night of Ashwin month, it marks a night of divine awakening, where devotees stay awake to invoke Goddess Lakshmi's blessings. The festival symbolizes abundance, purity, and spiritual illumination, as it coincides with the radiant Sharad Purnima-a night when the moon shines with full brilliance, believed to nourish both body and soul.

The Nishita time is considered the most auspicious moment for performing Kojagori Lakshmi Puja, as it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi descends to Earth, asking“Ko jagarti?” -“Who is awake?” - blessing those who remain devoted and vigilant.

According to the Skanda Purana, observing Kojagori Vrat with devotion ensures prosperity, health, happiness, and progeny. The night is marked by sacred fasting, meditation, and playing traditional games like Chausar, symbolizing joy and good fortune.
