Many people may not know that the two Pārśvadevatās worshipped alongside Goddess Lakṣmī on Kojāgarī Pūrṇimā are Devarāja Indra and Yakṣarāja Kubera. I’ve worshipped them too, though only some Bengali Lakshmi idols depict them.

Greek Magical Papyri, LVII.14–28:
“As you burn savin juniper together with the papyrus strip, say: “Isis, pure maiden, give me a sign of the outcomes. Uncover your holy veil, shake out the black fold of your garment, and set in motion the constellation of the Great Bear.”
When you have said these names and have at the same time unfolded your hands, lift the edge of your hand from your chest. Because you will see a star driven to you by compulsion, into which you will gaze intensely, after it has launched rays like darts and leapt towards you yourself, so that you become god-struck.
Hold the charakter ready at hand, for it is the symbol of Kronos, which gives you courage.”
“O Bear, greatest of goddesses, ruler of heaven, sovereign of the pole of the stars! Supreme goddess, beautifully radiant, imperishable element, structure of the universe, shining upon all things, harmony of the whole! You who stand upon the celestial pole, whom the Lord God appointed to rotate the holy pole with a powerful hand.”
—Greek Magical Papyri, IV.1301–1307.
