Varalakshmi Vratham was observed with utmost devotion by women in large numbers on Friday, preceding the full moon day of the auspicious ‘Sravana’ month, to appease the goddess of boons, in the south coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Despite the high cost of flowers and other decorative materials, women made it a point to decorate their houses tastefully to welcome the goddess of wealth. Sumptuous dishes prepared with reverence were offered as Prasadam to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of wealth.
