Mata Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, luxury, beauty, fertility, and auspiciousness. She holds the promise of material fulfilment and contentment. She is described as restless, whimsical yet maternal, with her arms raised to bless and to grant. For centuries Hindus have invoked her thus
Beautiful goddess seated on a chariot,
Delighted by songs on lustful elephants,
Bedecked with lotuses, pearls and gems,
Lustrous as fire, radiant as gold,
Resplendent as the sun, calm as the moon,
Mistress of cows and horses —
Take away poverty and misfortune
Bring joy, riches, harvest and children.
In India, Hindus adore Mata Lakshmi and consider their daughters as an embodiment of Mata Lakshmi because Mata Lakshmi is considered very auspicious, brought good luck and bestows rich/power. She takes away all the misfortunes of a person so calling his daughter as “Lakshmi” will surely benefit him. Therefore, in India people call every girl as “Lakshmi”.
