Raja Ravi Varma's Gaja Lakshmi, 1894. Ravi Varma’s iconic depiction of Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune is certainly one of the most widely circulated and influential of all god-prints. A single white elephant swims towards her with a garland in its trunk. LAKSHMI: Lakshmi is not merely a Goddess of wealth but the root of the Sanskrit word ‘Laksh’ means many things. It means a sign of beauty, a token of good fortune, a mark of royal power, luck, prosperity, well being, happiness, finesse, progeny, fertility etc. Lakshmi is therefore to be perceived as more than just a bringer of good fortune. A fine fragrance is Lakshmi, a delectable meal is Lakshmi and cleanliness is also Lakshmi. Lakshmi standing on a lotus is perhaps the most well-known example of all of the early lithographs of Hindu gods. She is the wife of Vishnu, one of the principal deities of Hinduism and the Supreme Being in the Vaishnavism Tradition. With Parvati and Saraswati, she forms Tridevi, the holy trinity.Lakshmi is also an important deity in Jainism and found in Jain temples. Lakshmi has also been a Goddess of abundance and fortune for Buddhists, and was represented on the oldest surviving stupas and cave temples of Buddhism. In Buddhist sects of Tibet, Nepal and Southeast Asia, Lakshmi Goddess Vasudhara mirrors the characteristics and attributes of the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi with minor iconographic differences.
