During Diwali people can acquire the grace Shri Lakshmi by performing Her worship on the day
of Lakshmi-Poojan.
At the same time one can see the pictures of our deities printed on the
crackers like the Lakshmi-bar, Krushna-bar, Vishnu-bar.
Even the pictures of great men of India like Netaji Subhashchandra Bose who fought and gave their life Independence of our country are found on the crackers.
