Itu Puja is a traditional Bengali ritual dedicated to the Sun God (Mitra) and Goddess Lakshmi, performed primarily by women during the Bengali month of Agrahayana (Nov-Dec) for prosperity, health, and family well-being, involving worship of a clay pot with seeds, strict vegetarianism, and reciting stories of devotion and rewards, differing from the main Diwali Lakshmi Puja by focusing on solar energy and agricultural growth through germination rituals.
