Varalakshmi Vratam is a festival to propitiate the Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. Varalakshmi is one who grants boons (“Vara”). It is an important pooja performed by many women. It is typically celebrated on the Second Friday or the Friday before the day of the full moon (Poornima) in the month of Sravana. Varalakshmi Vratam is performed by married woman (Sumangali’s) for the well being of all 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.
