Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, happiness, youth, and beauty, is often depicted with four arms. She is typically seated on a grand lotus flower, holding a single lotus in two of her hands. The other two hands extend in gestures of blessings and showering coins upon her devotees.
These four arms symbolize the four essential human pursuits: desire (kama), wealth (artha), duty (dharma), and spiritual liberation (moksha). While the first three are worldly objectives, the fourth represents a spiritual aspiration. On the one hand, the goddess releases gold coins, signifying prosperity in all aspects of life, not just material wealth. On the other hand, she clutches a lotus, symbolizing transformation and urging her followers to translate their worldly success into spiritual growth. Lakshmi is seated on a lotus, signifying her presence in the world while remaining unattached to it.
