In Hinduism, Lakshmi is an important goddess, one of a trinity of goddesses with Parvati and Sarasvati. Lakshmi is considered the consort and divine energy (shakti) of Vishnu. Lakshmi is generally depicted as a peaceful and beautiful woman with four arms. In Nepal, she is considered the goddess of prosperity and wealth and is also known as Shri. Lakshmi appears as a minor goddess in some Buddhist traditions; one of her forms in Tibetan Buddhism is the wrathful protector Palden Lhamo.
