Mother Lakshmi is also known as Rama, meaning one who showers happiness to the mankind. On this day we will pray to Dhanya Lakshmi. The word Dhanya in Sanskrit means grains. This includes all kind of purified food containing all essential vitamins, minerals, protein, calcium, carbohydrate and so on. With the grace of mother Dhanya Lakshmi one gets all essential nutrients in grains, fruits, vegetables and other foods. On this day our simple prayer will be to offer grains to Sri Mahalakshmi. From ancient days it is well known that Rice is the most widely used staple food and the great gift to mankind is often the gift of Food (Annadanam, sharing of food with fellow human beings). It is traditional to offer money to Goddess Mahalakshmi, the giver of all wealth along with the rice. It is suggested that devotees who wish participate in the prayer to Sri Dhanya Lakshmi bring bags of rice and offer that with some money as a token of their good will.
