Lakshmi is described as bestowing coins of prosperity and flanked by elephants signifying her royal power. However, in some texts, she has an owl as her vahana. Her expression is always calm and loving. The lotus also symbolizes the fertile growth of organic life, as the world is continually reborn on a lotus growing out of Vishnu's navel.

Lakshmi is worshiped daily, but special focus is given in the month of October. Her worship ceremonies include people offering food and sweets, chanting her 108 names, prayers repeated, and devotional songs being sung.

The Tridevi (English: 'three goddesses'; Sanskrit: त्रिदेवी tridevi) is a concept in Hinduism conjoining the three consorts of the Trimurti (Great Trinity): Saraswati the goddess of learning and arts, cultural fulfillment (consort of Brahmā the creator); Lakshmi the goddess of wealth and fertility, material fulfillment (consort of Vishnu the maintainer or preserver); and Parvati (or in her demon-fighting aspect Durga) the goddess of power and love, spiritual fulfillment (consort of Śiva the destroyer or transformer).

In the Navratri ("nine nights") festival, "the Goddess is worshipped in three forms. During the first three nights, Durga is revered, then Lakshmi on the fourth, fifth and sixth nights, and finally Sarasvati until the ninth night."

  • Tridevi = Shakti

  • Saraswati the goddess of learning and arts, cultural fulfillment (consort of Brahmā the creator); Lakshmi the goddess of wealth and fertility, material fulfillment (consort of Vishnu the maintainer or preserver); and Parvati (or in her demon-fighting aspect Durga) the goddess of power and love, spiritual fulfillment (consort of Śiva the destroyer or transformer).

  • The Tridevi (English: ‘three goddesses’; Sanskrit: त्रिदेवी tridevi) is a concept in Hinduism conjoining the three consorts of the Trimurti (Great Trinity):

  • The Tridevi  – the conjoined forms of Lakshmi , Parvati and Saraswati

  • the Shakti is responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force. Shakti exists in a state of svātantrya, dependence on no-one, being interdependent with the entire universe.

  • Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.
