Shri Mahalakshmi is the goddess of wealth in Hinduism. That's why every person wants Lakshmi to reside in his house. Sri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam Stotram is a devotional hymn dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, Adi Shakti and consort of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that Sri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam is taken from Padma Purana. Sri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam Stotram was first recited by Lord Indra.
