Ashta Lakshmi (Sanskrit: अष्टलक्ष्मी, IAST: Aṣṭalakṣmī; lit. "Octet of Lakshmi") or Ashtalakshmi, is a group of the eight manifestations of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of prosperity. She presides over eight sources of wealth: spirituality, material wealth, agriculture, royalty, knowledge, courage, progeny, and victory.[1][2]
The Ashta Lakshmi are always depicted and worshipped as an octet in temples.[3] Goddess Lakshmi manifests in eight distinct forms, each representing a unique aspect of prosperity and well-being. These forms, collectively known as Ashta Lakshmi, are venerated for bestowing various kinds of wealth and fortune upon her devotees. These forms encompass the diverse types of prosperity essential for a balanced and fulfilled life.
