Lakshmi (लक्ष्मी) is the goddess of fortune, prosperity and well-being, and the consort of Vishnu. She is shown seated or standing on an open lotus, lotuses in her hands and gold coins falling from her palm, while two elephants raise their trunks to bathe her in water. On the new-moon night of Diwali, homes are cleaned and lit with lamps to welcome her in. Her blessing is understood as more than money: it is health, harmony and a full household.
The figure alone, in a single ink and no words: soft gold on dark shirts, warm ink on natural. The quiet, monochrome version of the design.
