GODDESS LAXMI

Goddess Lakshmi, also known as Mahalakshmi, is one of the most revered goddesses in Hinduism. She is considered the goddess of wealth, prosperity, abundance, and fortune. Lakshmi is worshipped by devotees seeking material and spiritual prosperity.

In Hindu mythology, Goddess Lakshmi is believed to be the consort of Lord Vishnu, the preserver and sustainer of the universe. It is said that she emerged during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) by the gods and demons, symbolizing the attainment of wealth and prosperity through righteous efforts.

Lakshmi is often depicted as a beautiful goddess with golden complexion, adorned in rich attire and jewelry. She is portrayed with four hands, representing the four goals of human life: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). In her hands, she holds lotus flowers, which symbolize purity, wealth, and spiritual growth. She is often seen seated on a lotus throne, signifying her association with beauty, purity, and transcendence.

Devotees seek the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi for financial stability, success in business and endeavors, and overall prosperity. Her worship is considered essential during Diwali, the festival of lights, where people light lamps and offer prayers to invoke her blessings for wealth and well-being.
