Lakshmi is the beautiful Hindu goddess of wealth and fortune. She retreated into the Milky Ocean, one of the seven oceans of Hinduism, from which she later came out when the gods, following the direction of her future consort Vishnu, churned the sea. She came rising out of the ocean standing on a lotus flower.
A brass Mahalakshmi statue is a highly revered and auspicious item in Hindu households, primarily used to invite wealth, prosperity, good fortune, and positive energy.
