Festival Pooja Mantras (Diwali & Akshaya Tritiya)
Distinctive festival pooja mantras — the Lakshmi-Ganesha dhyana (Diwali), the Lakshmi-Narayana mantra, and the Akshaya Tritiya water-pot offering — per drikpanchang. (Other Diwali/Akshaya mantras duplicate the Ganesha, Lakshmi and Kubera collections.)

1. Lakshmi-Ganesha Dhyana (Diwali) दन्ताभये चक्रवरौ दधानं कराग्रगं स्वर्णघटं त्रिनेत्रम् ।
धृताब्जयालिङ्गितमब्धिपुत्र्या लक्ष्मीगणेशं कनकाभमीडे ॥
dantābhaye cakravarau dadhānaṃ karāgragaṃ svarṇaghaṭaṃ trinetram । / dhṛtābjayāliṅgitamabdhiputryā lakṣmīgaṇeśaṃ kanakābhamīḍe ॥
Dantabhaye Chakravarau Dadhanam Karagragam Svarnaghatam Trinetram Dhritabjayalingitamabdhiputrya Lakshmiganesham Kanakabhamide
जो हाथों में दन्त, अभय-मुद्रा, चक्र व वर तथा अग्र-हस्त में स्वर्ण-घट धारण करते हैं, त्रिनेत्र हैं, और कमल धारण करने वाली सागर-पुत्री (लक्ष्मी) से आलिंगित हैं — उन स्वर्ण-आभ लक्ष्मी-गणेश की मैं स्तुति करता हूँ।
I praise the golden-hued Lakshmi-Ganesha, three-eyed, bearing the tusk, the gesture of fearlessness, the discus and the boon, with a golden pot in his fore-hand, embraced by the ocean’s daughter (Lakshmi) who holds a lotus.
2. Lakshmi-Narayana Mantra ॐ श्रीलक्ष्मीनारायणाय नमः ।
oṃ śrīlakṣmīnārāyaṇāya namaḥ ।
Om Shrilakshminarayanaya Namah
ॐ, श्रीलक्ष्मीनारायण को नमन।
Om, salutations to Shri Lakshmi-Narayana.
3. Akshaya Tritiya Jala-Kumbha Dana Mantra एष धर्मघटो दत्तो ब्रह्मविष्णुशिवात्मकः ।
अस्य प्रदानात्तृप्यन्तु पितरोऽपि पितामहाः ॥
गन्धोदकतिलैर्मिश्रं सान्नं कुम्भं सदक्षिणम् ।
पितृभ्यः सम्प्रदास्यामि अक्षय्यमुपतिष्ठतु ॥
eṣa dharmaghaṭo datto brahmaviṣṇuśivātmakaḥ । / asya pradānāttṛpyantu pitaroऽpi pitāmahāḥ ॥ / gandhodakatilairmiśraṃ sānnaṃ kumbhaṃ sadakṣiṇam । / pitṛbhyaḥ sampradāsyāmi akṣayyamupatiṣṭhatu ॥
Esha Dharmaghato Datto Brahmavishnushivatmakah Asya Pradanattripyantu Pitaroऽpi Pitamahah Gandhodakatilairmishram Sannam Kumbham Sadakshinam Pitribhyah Sampradasyami Akshayyamupatishthatu
ब्रह्मा-विष्णु-शिव स्वरूप यह धर्म-घट (मैंने) दान किया; इसके दान से पितर व पितामह तृप्त हों। गन्ध-जल व तिल से मिश्रित, अन्न व दक्षिणा सहित यह कुम्भ मैं पितरों को अर्पित करता हूँ; यह पुण्य अक्षय हो। (अक्षय तृतीया का जल-कुम्भ दान मन्त्र)
This sacred water-pot, embodying Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, is given in charity; by this gift may the fathers and forefathers be satisfied. This pot — mixed with scented water and sesame, with food and the priestly fee — I offer to the ancestors; may the merit be inexhaustible. (The Akshaya Tritiya water-pot offering mantra.)
