In Yantra Sadhana, Chauntisa Yantra is considered very powerful and it is considered the embodiment of happiness and prosperity. One of the Chauntisa Yantra is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi and popularly known as Lakshmi Chauntisa Yantra.
Lakshmi Chauntisa Yantra is drawn on Bhoja Patra with red ink made of sandalwood paste and with pen made of pomegranate tree. The Yantra is kept in front of the Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali Puja. On the next day Yantra is put in the office or at home where money is kept. This remedy brings wealth and prosperity to business and home.
Apart from Diwali Lakshmi Puja, the Yantra can also be worshipped during Ravi Pushya Nakshatra day.
