Ashtalakshmi are the eight manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi. Sri Maha Lakshmi is worshipped for providing wealth in its 16 forms: knowledge, intelligence, strength, valor, beauty, victory, fame, ambition, morality, money, food grains, bliss, happiness, health, longevity, and virtuous offspring. The eight forms are: Adi Lakshmi: The Goddess of Spiritual Wealth; Dhana Lakshmi: The Goddess of material Wealth and Prosperity; Dhanya Lakshmi: The Goddess of Food and Grains; Gaja Lakshmi: The Goddess of Power and Strength; Santana Lakshmi: The Goddess of Offspring and Progeny; Vijaya Lakshmi: The Goddess of Victory and Success; Veera Lakshmi: The Goddess of Courage and Bravery; Vidya Lakshmi: The Goddess of Knowledge and Education.

This beautiful peetham represents these divine forms of the goddess, including the Sri Yantra, beautifully. The Sri Yantra is an intricate geometric pattern, believed to be Sri Lalita Tripurasundari herself. An extremely important part of Shakti, or Devi worship, it is a symmetrical design, both powerful and aesthetically pleasing. This 1.5 inch peetham, with Ashtalakshmi and Sri Yantra, is an excellent addition to your pooja space.
