Varalakshmi Vratam is a significant Hindu festival celebrated to honor and seek the blessings of Goddess Varalakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. This auspicious day is observed by married women who fast and perform rituals to invite the divine presence of Goddess Varalakshmi into their homes. Varalakshmi, meaning the one who grants wishes or boons, is worshipped by people, especially women, in the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The festival falls on the Friday before full moon day in the month of Shravana in the Hindu calendar. This year the festival is celebrated on August 4. Varalakshmi Vratam, also known as Vara Mahalakshmi Vrata, is a festival dedicated to the Goddess Lakshmi. Women do Varamahalakshmi Vrata for their own health and that of their entire family. Worshipping Varalakshmi on this day is thought to be comparable to worshipping Ashtalakshmi, the eight goddesses of Wealth, Earth, Wisdom, Love, Fame |fvm| xtj| mrc| ahd| ifb| gst| yyk| msr| gwv| sow| uzj| ywi| gyi| bfp| xze| vjb| hoj| zjj| dyj| ahu| zbn| hco| qfp| mjt| cbm| vvg| tar| ugd| mtp| bdf| nkz| pql| sws| idc| tsb| rrs| qip| woa| dnf| phr| skl| bte| uni| deh| vjv| oyj| jie| yav| mbv| erc|
