Lakshmi Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra month, which falls in the first week of the Hindu New Year. According to Vedic chronology, this day is also called Kalpadi Tithi, which marks the beginning of a new Kalpa. It is one of the seven Kalpadi Tithi (seven Kalpadi Tithi) that occur throughout the year, making it a highly auspicious day. As the name suggests, this day is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.

It is also known as Shri Panchami or Shri Vrat. It is important to note that this day should not be confused with Basant Panchami, as Basant Panchami is dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of learning. Worshiping Goddess Lakshmi at the beginning of the year is considered very auspicious. On this day, people perform special prayers in their homes and business establishments. Many merchants and business houses celebrate this day with great ease and devotion, hoping to bring prosperity and well-being throughout the year.
