Shukra Dhanteras Mahayog Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Shaktipeeth Chadhava

✨A rare Shukra Dhanteras Mahayog that occurs only once in several years- when the grand annual festival dedicated to Maa Lakshmi falls on Her sacred day, Friday, at Her revered abode, Mahalakshmi Shaktipeeth!
💰On one hand, Dhanteras, the Trayodashi of Kartik Krishna Paksha, is considered one of the most auspicious festivals for welcoming Maa Lakshmi. It is believed to be a time when the Goddess is fully awakened and showers golden wealth with both hands. On the other hand, Friday is sacred to Maa Lakshmi and Shukra, the planet associated with wealth, good fortune, love and opulence.
The combination of these two occasions is believed to intensify Maa Lakshmi’s grace, divine blessings and benevolent power. In this auspicious moment, all eight forms of Maa Lakshmi are believed to open the doors to prosperity from all eight directions.
🛕Kolhapur Shaktipeeth: The Sacred Abode of Sthir Lakshmi
🌎While Maa Lakshmi is traditionally associated with Vaikuntha, Kolhapur is revered as the sacred land where Maa Mahalakshmi chose to establish Her permanent abode. According to the Karvir Mahatmya of the Skanda Purana, this is the sacred place where Maa Sati’s eyes fell. It is therefore revered as one of the 51 Shaktipeeths and as a Purna Peeth, one of Maharashtra’s three-and-a-half Shaktipeeths. Here, Maa resides as Karvirvasini Ambabai, the Goddess who blesses devotees with prosperity.
🪷Her presence here is believed to be eternal, not momentary. The west-facing idol is exceptionally rare, revered as a symbol of immediate divine grace and direct blessings. This is why making an offering at Kolhapur Shaktipeeth on Shukra Dhanteras is considered a highly auspicious form of Lakshmi worship.
🙏 On this rare Shukra Dhanteras, make an offering at the sacred court of Mahalakshmi at Kolhapur Shaktipeeth and seek Maa’s everlasting blessings of Sthir Lakshmi - lasting wealth and prosperity. Book your offering today!
