The story
Laxmi is born to an extremely poor family in a drought stricken village, craving for rain. Her father, who is in no position to feed her, decides to abandon her in the village temple. However, at that very moment, the rain gods smile on the village and a three-year-long drought is broken. Laxmi is proclaimed to be the bearer of this good fortune and is bestowed the status of a Goddess.
