Varalakshmi Vratham is an important Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It is observed on the second Friday of the month of Shravana (August-September) and is particularly significant for married women who seek blessings for the well-being, health, and prosperity of their husbands and families.
The festival involves elaborate rituals and prayers, including the preparation of a special dish called “varalakshmi vratham prasadam,” which is offered to the goddess. Devotees also observe fasting and perform traditional ceremonies to invoke Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings.
