Varalakshmi Vratham 2022: Date, Time, History And Significance
Varalakshmi Vratham is a very auspicious festival and is celebrated by thousands of devotees across South India every year. This year, in 2022, it falls on 12 August, Friday.
On this day, the lord of wealth and prosperity, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped with a pure heart. She is the consort of God Vishnu who was incarnated from the Kshir Sagar (milky ocean) and believed to bestow blessings and fulfil all the earthly desires of her devotees. This ritual is witnessed by people residing especially in the South Indian states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andra Pradesh, and worshipped by Hindu married women for the well-being and prosperity of their families.
Significance of Varalaksmi Vratham
Varalakshmi is a word synonymous with blessings and fulfilment of desire. According to Hindu mythology, she is believed to be the wife of Lord Vishnu and is also one of the forms of Mahalakshmi. There's a common belief that worshipping Varalakshmi on this day is equal to praying to the eight forces of Goddess Lakshmi (Ashtalaksmi) i.e. Siri (Wealth), Sarasvathi (Wisdom), Bhu (Earth), Keerthi (Fame), Preethi (Love), Santhushti (contentment) Shanthi (Peace), and Pushti (Strength).
On this occasion, it is very important to seek the blessing of Lord Vishnu before worshipping Varalakshmi as Lord Vishnu, being Goddess Lakshmi's husband is pervading and Goddess Lakshmi is the symbolical force found everywhere. As they both are inseparable, they are worshipped together to seek blessings.
Varalaksmi Vratham Date
Varalaksmi Vratham is observed every year on the last Friday of Shravana Shukla Paksha, a few days prior to Raksha Bandhan and Shravan Purnima as per the Hindu calendar. This year, in 2022, the puja will be done on Friday, 12 August.
Varalaksmi Vratham Timing
The Electional Astrology says that Varalakshmi worshipping muhurta (auspicious time) should be accurate and should be done during fixed Lagna to receive her long-lasting blessings. The evening time for puja that overlaps with Pradosh makes the best timing for worshipping Goddess Varalakshmi.
The timings are as follows:
Muhurta | Time of the day | Starting Time | End Time | Date (2019) |
Simha Lagna Puja Muhurat | Morning | 06:14 AM | 08:32 AM | August 12 |
Vrishchika Lagna Puja Muhurat | Afternoon | 01:07 PM | 03:26 PM | August 12 |
Kumbha Lagna Puja Muhurat | Evening | 07:12 PM | 08:40 PM | August 12 |
Vrishabha Lagna Puja Muhurat | Midnight | 11:40 PM | 01:35 AM | August 13 |
