Welcome Goddess Lakshmi or Wealth for prosperity to your homes on 'Varalakshmi Vrata'.


Wishing our dear readers a very prosperous varalakshmi festival on this auspicious day of Independence day and invoke Goddess Lakshmi to bless us with good health and wealth.

The day begins with rangoli and sacred head baths just as any other festival and is marked by the performance of "Varalakshmi Vrata" by the women folk of the house. Worshipping Vara Lakshmi is rendered equivalent to Ashta Lakshmi puja. It is thus held that the Goddess of wealth would bless those who perform the vratam on this particular day of the year with Dhana (Money), Dhanya (food), Aayu (long life), Aarogya (health), Aishwarya (wealth), Satsantana (good offsprings) and Soubhagya (long life of husband).
