The Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali - the 108 sacred names of Goddess Lakshmi - is a revered devotional text chanted in Hindu households and temples, particularly on Fridays (Shukravar), Diwali, and during the auspicious month of Karthika. Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, is worshipped as the deity of wealth, abundance, fortune, and beauty. In Hindu numerology, 108 represents the 12 zodiac signs multiplied by the 9 planets, and is considered the number of divine completeness. Chanting all 108 names is believed to invite prosperity and remove financial obstacles.
The 108 names draw from Lakshmi's eight principal manifestations - the Ashtalakshmi: Adi Lakshmi (primordial wealth), Dhana Lakshmi (monetary wealth), Dhanya Lakshmi (grain and food), Gaja Lakshmi (power and royalty), Santana Lakshmi (progeny), Veera Lakshmi (valor), Vidya Lakshmi (knowledge and art), and Vijaya Lakshmi (victory). Major Lakshmi temples in India include the Mahalakshmi Temple in Kolhapur (Maharashtra), the Ashtalakshmi Temple in Chennai, and the Padmavathi Temple in Tiruchanur, Andhra Pradesh.
This page presents all 108 names in Sanskrit Devanagari script with Roman transliteration and English meaning. Each name is prefixed with "Om" and suffixed with "Namah" following the traditional Namavali format. The chanting is typically done during Lakshmi Puja on Diwali evening, during Friday Abhishekam, or on Varalakshmi Vratam - a major festival in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh observed on the Friday before Shravana Purnima.
