Goddess Gaja Lakshmi (From Bastar)

Goddess Lakshmi is personified not only as the bestower of fortune and wealth but also as an embodiment of loveliness, grace and charm. She is the goddess whose presence in any home or establishment is said to ensure continuous prosperity and peace.

Gajalakshmi is a special form of Goddess Lakshmi, where she is shown flanked by two elephants pouring nectar onto her from two sacred pots. As symbols of sovereignty and fertility, the elephants convey Lakshmi's association with these highly desirable qualities, which are often sought after or mentioned as rewards, by worshippers of this Great Goddess
