Description of the Star of Lakshmi


The Star of Lakshmi is a geometric figure. It consists of an eight-pointed star, which is created by superimposing two congruent squares, which are rotated 45 degrees relative to each other. This unique symbol is closely associated with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who is revered as a giver of prosperity and wealth. The eight points of the star represent the Ashtalakshmi, which symbolize various forms of abundance and blessings.
