Lakshmi – The Goddess of Good Fortune

Product Description

Goddess Lakshmi is one of the Tridevi – the supreme three goddesses of Hinduism. Champion of the downtrodden, bestower of wealth and good fortune, Lakshmi exists in multitudes. She is Bhoomi Devi, the fertile earth as well as Haripriya, the other half of Vishnu. She is Dhanalakshmi, the personification of wealth as well as Adi Lakshmi, the creator of the universe. She is everywhere – uncontained and abundant.

Seated on a lotus throne and flanked by a pair of elephants, she is a familiar sight. Yet, many questions about her remain shrouded in mystery. Why is she associated with the Tulsi plant? Who is her sister who also emerged from the ocean of milk? When Vishnu left Vaikuntha, why did she seek help from Mahabali?

Amar Chitra Katha brings you the answers in this brand-new collection of stories. Sourced from Puranas as ancient as time and interesting folktales accross the country, here are 18 stories of Lakshmi in all her resplendent forms.
