The deities Parvati, Saraswati and Lakshmi comprise the Tridevi, the holy trinity of goddesses in Hindu tradition. Lakshmi is a goddess of abundance and good fortune for Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Her broad array of associations made her one of the most important deities and in the guise of Shri, she is considered a goddess personifying a diverse range of talents and powers.
