Mahalakshmi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
The Hindu festival by the name 'Vara Mahalakshmi Vrata' is celebrated on a Friday that falls before the full Moon day of the month of Shravanamasa. Women will perform this Pooja to get prosperity, health, wealth and knowledge for the family.
The way of celebrating this festival differ from place to place. As I belong to southern part of karnataka. I would like to share my this year ecperience as I stay 600 KM away from my family but still I follow the same tradition which I learnt from my mother.
