✦ About
Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, prosperity, love, and beauty. She emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean, choosing Vishnu as her eternal consort. She accompanies him in all his avatars, incarnating as Sita with Rama and Rukmini with Krishna.
Depicted standing or seated on a lotus, with gold coins flowing from her hands, Lakshmi bestows both material wealth and spiritual abundance. She is worshipped especially during Diwali, the festival of lights, when homes are cleaned to welcome her.
Lakshmi represents not just wealth, but the abundance that comes from righteous living. She is both the giver of fortune and the fortune itself—unstable with the unworthy, steadfast with the virtuous.
✦ Famous Story
When the demons and gods churned the cosmic ocean, many treasures emerged. Last came Lakshmi herself, radiant and beautiful. Though the demons tried to claim her, she chose Vishnu, placing a garland around his neck—and has remained devoted to him through all time.
