Q) What is Varalakshmi Vratam and why is important?

Varalakshmi Vratam is a festival to propitiate the Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. Varalakshmi is one who grants boons (“Vara”). It is typically celebrated on the Second Friday or the Friday before the day of the full moon (Poornima) in the month of Shraavana. Varalakshmi Vratam is performed by married women (Sumangali’s) for the well-being of their family members, especially the husband, to get progeny, etc… It is believed that worshipping the Goddess Varalakshmi on this day is equivalent to worshipping Ashtalakshmi – the eight goddesses of Wealth, Earth, Wisdom, Love, Fame, Peace, Contentment, and Strength.
