In the Hindu tradition, Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty. She is often depicted with gold coins and lotus flowers, symbolizing purity and abundance. But beyond these symbols, Lakshmi also embodies grace, gentleness, and compassion. She is the companion of Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, and together, they represent balance and harmony in the world.
