Devi Mahalakshmi (महालक्ष्मी) , also called Shree (श्री), is the presiding deity of wealth in the Hindu faith. An ancient Vedic goddess, she bestows all conceivable spiritual and material wealth on her devotees. Many festivals including Diwali or Deepavali (दीपावली) and vratas like the Varadalakshmi Vrata are devoted to her. Supposed to have reappeared during Samudra Manthan, in later tradition, she is considered to be the consort of Shri Vishnu.

Team Cultural Samvaad has put together some famous mantras and shlokas in Sanskrit with meanings in English and Hindi that can be used to worship Maa Lakshmi every day and on every festival.
