Worship of Lakshmi

[Guest guest]

"When Lakshmi is worshipped, she is visualised as an independent

entity, not as the consort of Vishnu. Images of Lakshmi seated on a

lotus, holding pot overflowing with grain and gold is commonly

enshrined in the pooja room of most Hindu households. In most homes

the image of Lakshmi is never kept alone as the restless goddess may

just slip away. Ganapati is kept beside her as he is the lord of

obstacles who prevents her departure. Saraswati is also kept beside

her as the goddess of wealth does not like to leave if there is the

slightest possibility of the goddess of knowledge getting all the

attention."
