Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth, prosperity and fortune. She is one of the Tridevis, the holy trinity of Goddesses and the consort of Lord Vishnu, the supreme God of protection.

Kanakadhara Stothram is a very famous hymn dedicated to this Goddess and was composed by the great saint Adi Shankara. As per the legend, once young Shankara went to the house of a poor lady begging for alms, and the woman, who had nothing to give him but a single gooseberry, offered that to him lovingly with all her heart. Her compassion touched Shankara so much that he came out spontaneously with this hymn, pleading with Lakshmi Devi to wipe out the lady’s poverty through her grace. It is said that the Goddess was felt pleased that heeding to Shankara’s appeal, she showered golden fruits immediately in the lady’s hut. Hence this composition, consisting of 21 stanzas, has come to be known as Kanaka Dhara, ‘the hymn that brought in a rain of gold.’
