Santan Laxmi is the Goddess of Fertility and one of the eight forms of Ashta Laxmi that offer the boon of a child. She is traditionally prayed to by couples desiring children. Santan Lakshmi also signifies the ferocity of a protective mother who protects the infants from all diseases.

She bestows the warmth and care necessary for raising healthy and happy children and is considered a very important manifestation of Maa Laxmi because children are  the greatest treasures of family life.


Worshipping Goddess Lakshmi (Jivitputrika) fulfils the desire for vibrant and long-living offspring and helps in increasing the happiness and prosperity of children. Any person blessed with good children will have a good life to live and hence worshipping Santan Laxmi is important.

Santan Laxmi is worshipped on Fridays and there is a fast of 16 days in a year which is called Sorahiya Puja. By performing this puja sincerely with devotion, the devotees can invoke the divine energy of Santan Laxmi - and seek Her protection and guidance for a smooth and healthy journey into parenthood.
