Lakshmi typically stands or sits like on a lotus, while holding a lotus in her hand, symbolizing fortune, self-knowledge, and spiritual liberation. She has four hands, which represent the four aspects of human life: dharma, kama, artha and moksha. This is the fifth night of an extremely auspicious nine-night festival in Her honor. A puja is being celebrated each night at the Los Angeles Center: three for Durga, three for Lakshmi and three for Saraswati.
