Hukka Paati or hookah patti or ukka patti (Maithili: हुक्का पांती, उक्का-पांती) is a ritualistic tradition and performance played on the occasion of the Diwali Puja in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. The tradition of Hukka Pati symbolizes the invocation of the Goddess Lakshmi in the region. Apart from the symbol of the invocation of the Goddess Lakshmi, it also symbolizes Prakash Tarpan (Offering light) in Hinduism to one's ancestors in the region. It is locally also known as Hukka Lolli.
