- Worship of the Treasurers: The primary deities worshipped on this day are Lord Kuber (the Treasurer of the Gods) and Goddess Lakshmi (the Goddess of Wealth). By appeasing them, devotees invite financial stability and growth.
- Special Importance in Jainism: For the Jain community, Labh Panchami holds immense importance as thousands undertake a pilgrimage to the sacred Shatrunjaya hills in Palitana, Gujarat, to offer prayers.

This story underscores the belief that observing Labh Panchami with devotion can reverse fortunes and bring immense gain.
