Except for the cool showers that
come with the monsoon season, July and August are loaded with festivities that are eagerly anticipated each year. As the name
implies,“Varamahalakshmi” is the Goddess of Blessings. The festival is one of the most
prominent occasions in India, particularly in South India. A long-standing
tradition, this festival is held on the second Friday or the Friday preceding the full moon in the Shukla paksha
fortnight of the month of Shravan. This is especially significant for the South Indians as
well as the North Indians. While individuals in North India praise celebrations like Teej,
individuals in South India commend this sacred celebration that is known as Varamahalakshmi. This
pooja is performed by people of all castes and creeds. Indians perform it with utmost
dedication to obtain Goddess Lakshmi's beneficent graces, which will give health,
wealth, knowledge, and happiness to their family.
It is accepted that venerating Varalakshmi on this day is
identical to revering Ashtalakshmi,
which implies eight types of Lakshmi –
· Aadi-Lakshmi (The Great
Goddess)
· Dhana-Lakshmi (Goddess of
prosperity and wealth)
· Dhanya-Lakshmi (The
Goddess of food grains)
· Gaja-Lakshmi (The
Elephant Goddess)
· Santana-Lakshmi (The
Goddess of progeny)
· Dhairy Lakshmi (The
Goddess of courage and valour)
· Vidya-Lakshmi (The
Goddess of knowledge)
· Vijaya-Lakshmi (The
Goddess of victory)
Varamahalakshmi, like all
festivals, has its unique genesis tale. Lord Shiva tells Parvati about
the varamahalakshmi vratham at the beginning of the narrative.
How fascinating is it to perform Varamahalakshmi pooja?
Well, it’s quite interesting that married women honor the Goddess Varalakshmi
by engaging
in this festival. Worshiping Goddess Lakshmi is the same as worshipping
Ashtalakshmi,
which is worshipping eight Lakshmis. While married women conduct the
Varamahalakshmi
Vrata primarily to benefit their husbands, it also benefits their families.
Vrata and rituals for Varalakshmi
“On this auspicious day, the woman of the house takes an early bath and creates
a lovely
Lotus rangoli design in the designated worship area, where a Kalash depicting
Goddess
Lakshmi is placed. The consecrated Kalasha made of metal, copper, or silver,
designed
affectionately with saree, gold gems, and blossoms are loaded up with rice and
are
meticulously embellished with new betel or leaves, sweets, and savories.
Tasting Notes of Varamahalakshmi Habba
The Pooja begins with the invocation of Lord Ganesha, followed by devotion to
Goddess
Lakshmi. The evenings are dedicated to visiting loved ones and exchanging
heartfelt
greetings, affection, sweets, and savoury treats. Puran Poli (otherwise called
obbattu or
Holige), Appi Payasa (fresh semolina wastes in milk pudding), Puliyogare (zesty
tart
tamarind rice), Carrot Kosambari (a fascinating carrot lentil salad), and
Godambi Thondekai
Palya (a side dish made with cashew nuts and Ivy gourd) are a portion of the
strengths
prepared during Varalakshmi Pooja.
