Do you know?

Why do brides throw Dhan(paddy ) or haldi Akshat ( Rice) behind when leaving their father's house after marriage?

And why does her mother collect that Dhan or Haldi Akshat with her anchal?

Because When Maa Mahalakshmi leaves the house, she takes all the wealths, prosperities, happiness and peace of that house with her.

But the daughter is such a Bhagya Lakshmi for her parents that even when she leaves her parental home after marriage,

she wants to make sure that the wealth, prosperity and happiness never leaves her parental home and that's why she leaves a part of her Virtue, wealth, prosperities and happiness for her parents and enters the new house to make her own fortune.

बहुत लोगों के मन में यह जिज्ञासा रहती है कि दीपावली के दिन भगवान श्री राम अयोध्या वापस लौटे थे यह बात तो ठीक है परंतु उस दिन हम भगवती लक्ष्मी का पूजन क्यों करते हैं?

इसका उत्तर हमें स्कंद पुराण के वैष्णव खंड के कार्तिक महात्म्य के पृष्ठ संख्या 422 पर मिलता है;

उसमें वर्णन कुछ इस प्रकार आता है-:
एक समय राजा बलि ने भगवान से यह वर मांगा था कि मैने वामन रूप धारण करने वाले आपको भूमि दान दी है और आपने उसे तीन दिनों में तीन पगों द्वारा नाप लिया है अतः आज से लेकर 3 दिनों तक प्रतिवर्ष पृथ्वी पर मेरा राज्य रहे ऐसा वरदान दीजिए।

और उस समय जो मनुष्य पृथ्वी पर दीपदान करें उसके घर में आपकी पत्नी लक्ष्मी स्थिर भाव से निवास करें।
दैत्य राज बली को भगवान विष्णु ने चौदस से लेकर तीन दिनों तक का राज्य दिया है इसलिए इन तीन दिनों में यहां सर्वथा महोत्सव करना चाहिए।

One of the significant aspects of Shiva is his ferocious and wrathful form known as Rudra.

🌺Rare Varahi Murti with her lookalike attendants Stambhini and Krodhini 🌺

Varahi is one of the Sapta Matruka Goddesses. They are widely seen in Odisha which was once a flourishing site of Matruka worship.

However a Varahi murti with her two lookalike lady attendants by her sides is very rare to find. This iconography can be seen in the Gangeswari Temple, Bayalishbati, Gop, Puri where in one of the Parswadeva niches Varahi is seen along with two of her lookalike female attendants.

The names of these attendants are Stambhini and Krodhini. The reference is from Lalitopakhyana, Brahmanda Purana and Tantrarājatantra.
