Mahalakshmi or Mata Lakshmi is generally referred to as the ‘Goddess of Wealth’. In the Indian tradition, true wealth is not only equal to material objects and pleasures. True wealth is true knowledge and Lakshmiji seated on a lotus, bestows not just material pleasures but true knowledge.

The grand Indian festival of ‘Diwali’ or ‘Deepawali’ is when salutations to the great Goddess Shri (श्री) reach their zenith. Varalakshmivrata is another festival devoted to Maa Lakshmi.

Note: This shloka occurs in the महालक्ष्म्यष्टकम्|
