Seated on a lotus, Lakshmi is the embodiment of purity, wealth, humility, charm, beauty, grace, generosity and prosperity. Lakshmi is consort of Lord Vishnu and pleads Vishnu to grant liberation to devotees. She is ever ready to bestow devotees with true happiness. She also teaches us the religious values of life and higher self. Special events in the temple include: Lakshmi Puja during the Diwali (Festival of Lights) during Oct–Nov; worship for nine days during the festival of Navaratri in the Fall season and Sri Sukta homa in the Yagashala (during the Summer season).
