Goddess Lakshmi is the consort of Vishnu. When
the gods were exiled, Lakshmi took refuge in the ocean of milk.
She was reborn when the ocean was churned. As soon as she
appeared, the gods fell in love with her. Shiva, claimed her,
but her hand was given to Vishnu. Lakshmi was reborn as
Vishnu's consort in every incarnation of his, as Sita, Radha
and Rukmini. In the Hindu gods and goddesses, Lakshmi is the
Goddess of light, beauty, good fortune and wealth.
