Where does Goddess Lakshmi like to reside Among the Hindu goddess, Lakshmi Mata is worshiped by all. She is considered as the mother of all humans and being worshiped by all devotees. She is the wife of Lord Vishnu. Food, power, victory, luck, beauty, richness, etc. are her qualities. She is the root of wealth, wealth doesn’t mean only money, power, courage, knowledge, and wisdom is the forms of wealth.  That is why during the festival of Diwali, we all worship goddess Lakshmi. Goddess Lakshmi likes light and knowledge. Deepa Lakshmi with her glow of light removes the darkness of the new moon.

Whoever chants the stotra will be blessed with wealth.
