Varalakshmi Vratham - 2024

Varalakshmi Vratham :-

Varalakshmi Vratham involves worshiping the eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi.  Varalakshmi is the manifestation of goddess Lakshmi who grants boon (Varam). 

Worshiping the aspect of Varalakshmi on this day is equivalent to worshiping the eight aspects of Goddess Mahalakshmi who represents different forms of wealth.

The Inception :-

It is in Shiva Purana, where Shiva tells the story to Parvathi that a woman named Charumathi lived in Magadha was a highly devoted  wife and daughter-in-law to her family.  Goddess Lakshmi was highly impressed and appeared in Charumathi’s dream asking to be worshiped as “Varamahalakshmi” and all of her wishes will be fulfilled soon.  The Vratham is to be performed  before a full moon of a Shravana month by Goddess Lakshmi. 

Ashtalakshmi :- 

On this propitious occasion, Goddess Lakshmi manifests in the form of Ashtalakshmi, embodying eight distinct aspects. 

Adhilakshmi         -      She provides a state of profound contemplation

Santanalakshmi   -    She blesses seekers with progeny

Cultural significance :-

During Varalakshmi Vratham, married women worship Goddess Lakshmi to bring progeny, abundance and well-being for their husband and family. Women buy gold coins, idols, and jewellery to decorate the idol and themselves.  People in Tamil Nadu believe that the new dresses and the jewellery you wear on this occasion will be doubled.  Varalakshmi Vratham is a celebration of the divine feminine energy and a way for married women to express their devotion.  This festival reinforces the values of family unity, love, and seeking blessings for the prosperity and harmony for their household. 

This festival is not only a time for spiritual reflection but also for showcasing traditional beauty through jewellery.
