Shri Lakshmi, the consort and dynamic energy of Lord Vishnu is worshipped by the Hindus as the Goddess of wealth, fortune, luxury and prosperity (both material and spiritual).

She is depicted in red clothes and adorned with gold jewelry. She has calm,soothing expressions and is always seen with a lotus in her hand which signify her as the symbol of Beauty. Her four hands represent the four goals of human life considered important to the Hindu way of life – Dharma (Righteousness and Duty) Kama (Worldly Desires), Artha (Wealth and Prosperity) and Moksha (Salvation). Her palms are always open and sometimes coins are seen pouring from them signifying that she is the giver of wealth and prosperity. She is shown sitting or standing on a lotus in a beautiful garden or in blue-ocean. Around her are either two or four white elephants giving Her ‘Abhishekam’ with the water. Her ‘Vahana’ i.e. mounts are white elephant and owl.

As the Hindu Goddess of Good Fortune and Beauty, she represents and is seen as the personification of abundance, prosperity, wealth and harmony who is, hence, believed to relieve all sorrows caused by dearth of money. She is actively worshipped daily by millions of Hindus and interfaith practitioners of Goddess spirituality around the globe since she is considered as a universal Goddess. Yet the festivals of Sharad Purnima(Kojagaari Purnima) and Deepvali (Diwali) are specially celebrated in her honour.

  • Gaja Lakshmi Puja is an autumn festival celebrated on Sharad Purnima in many parts of India on the full-moon day in the month of Ashvin (September–October). The Sharad Purnima, also called Kojaagari Purnima or Kumar Purnima, is a harvest festival marking the end of monsoon season. Along with the traditional celebration of the moon called the ‘Kaumudi celebration’ (Kaumudi meaning moonlight), on Kojagaari Purnima night, Goddess Lakshmi is thanked and worshiped for the harvests.
  • Many Hindus also worship Lakshmi on Diwali, the festival of lights. It is another festival celebrated in autumn, typically in October or November of every year. Before Diwali night, people clean, renovate and decorate their homes and offices. On Diwali night, Hindus dress up in new clothes or their best outfits, light up diyas (lamps and candles) inside and outside their house, and participate in family puja (prayers) celebrating this Goddess of Fortune as they invite Her into their homes, attempting to secure her favors for the year to come. Fireworks, a family feast including mithai (sweets) and an exchange of gifts between family members and close friends follow which signify auspiciousness, wealth, and prosperity. This festival dedicated to Shri Lakshmi is considered by to be one of the most important and joyous festivals of the year by the Hindus.

As we can see, Lakshmi is a Goddess who brings all good things to light and to life! To evoke Her energy of good fortune, countless hymns, prayers, shlokas, stotra, and mantras are dedicated and recited during the ritual worship of Lakshmi.

Thus, one bows to Maa Lakshmi who is known to grant favors to all, to terrorize the evil and remove the misery of all. The divine Goddess is the provider of success and intelligence and the benefactor of both worldly pleasure and freedom.
