Goddess Lakshmi is personified not only as the bestower of fortune and wealth but also as an embodiment of loveliness, grace, and charm. She is the goddess whose presence in any home or establishment is said to ensure continuous prosperity and peace. Iconographically, Goddess Lakshmi is described as a fair lady, generally with four arms, seated or standing on a lotus, dressed in fine garments and precious jewels. She has a benign countenance, is in her full youth, and yet has a motherly appearance.
