Lakshmi is the goddess of money and good luck in Hinduism. She is the wife of the Hindu god Vishnu. Most Hindus pray to her on Diwali, which is a festival in India.

Lakshmi has four arms, fair skin and sits on a lotus flower. She is covered in jewellery.

She also has several avataras (means a god coming to the earth in the form of a human being or in any other form) who are usually married to Vishnu's avatars:

  • Sita, wife of Rama
  • Radha, the lover, and Rukmini, the first wife and queen of Krishna
