Lakshmi, also known as Laxmi, is a Hindu goddess of fortune, wealth, and prosperity. She is frequently depicted as a lovely lady with four arms, sitting or standing on a lotus flower. She carries lotus flowers, gold coins, and occasionally a pot of gold in her hands. Lakshmi is associated with good fortune, happiness, and abundance, and is regarded as the embodiment of beauty, grace, and charm by Hindus.Lakshmi is the consort of Vishnu, the god of preservation of the universe. According to Hindu mythology, she and other treasures emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean when the gods and demons were attempting to obtain the nectar of immortality. She was married to Vishnu and is thought to live in his heart.Lakshmi is widely worshipped in Hinduism, particularly during the Diwali festival, which commemorates her return from exile. She is also linked to other festivals and auspicious occasions, such as weddings and housewarmings. Lakshmi, in addition to being a goddess of wealth and prosperity, is also a symbol of fertility, love, and devotion.
