According to mythological beliefs about Mata Varalakshmi, once someone was presented a garland to Maharishi Durvasa. On the way, Maharishi met Devraj Indra, sitting on Airavat (the white Elephant), then Maharishi Durvasa gave that garland to Devraj Indra. Devraj Indra put it on Airavat’s head, which fell on the ground. Airavata crushed that garland with his feet, seeing which Maharishi Durvasa got angry and cursed Indra to be powerless.
Due to the effect of the curse, Devraj Indra lost his kingdom, Devlok. Asuras (demons) ruled everywhere, the gods got upset. When all the gods reached Lord Vishnu, he proposed to churn Kshir Sagar with the help of Asuras. Many miraculous gems were obtained from the churning of the ocean. Mata Varalakshmi, seated on a white lotus, also emerged from the ocean churning.
It is believed that worshipping Mata Varalakshmi form of Maa Lakshmi, is like worshipping the Ashtalakshmi mentioned above. This Mata Varalakshmi Vrat and Puja festival is more prevalent mainly in South India, but due to the miraculous effect, now Mata Varalakshmi fast is being observed in many other states of India as well.

Married women observe this fast with great enthusiasm for the happiness and prosperity of the family. Married men can also observe this fast for the happiness and prosperity of the family.

Lord Shiva narrated the story of Varalakshmi fast to Goddess Parvati. According to the legend, there was a city named Kundi, which was known for its scenic beauty. This city was situated in the kingdom of Magadha. In the prosperous and beautiful city of Kundi, there lived a Brahmin woman named Charumati along with her husband and family. Charumati was a conscientious and God-fearing woman who lived the life of an ideal woman by serving her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband and worshiping Mata Lakshmi. Charumati was a devoted worshiper of Maa Lakshmi, and Mata Lakshmi was also very pleased with her.
Looking at Charumati’s devotion in one night, Mata Lakshmi came to Charumati in a dream and said, Charumati should do Varalakshmi Vrat, with the effect of this fast; you will get the desired result. The following day, Charumati told the other women of the society about Varalakshmi Vrat as told by Mata Lakshmi.
Charumati, along with all the women, kept this fast and worshiped Mata Varalashmi according to the law. Chaturmati, along with other women, also recited a shloka which is as follows:
“Lakshmi Ksheerasamudra Rajatanyam Sri Rangadhameswareem Dasibootha Samastha DevavanithamLokaika Deepamkuramsri Manmanda Kataksha Labdhivibhat BrahmendraGangadharamtwamtrayamlokyakutumbhineem Sasijavandemukunda Priyam”
“लक्ष्मी क्षीरसमुद्र राजतन्याम श्री रंगधाममेस्वरम दासिबुथा समस्त देववनिथम लोकिका दीपंकुरम श्री मनमांडा कटक्ष लब्धिविभत ब्रह्मेंद्र गंगाधरम त्वम्त्रयंलोक्यकुटुंभिनीम शशिजवन्देमुकुंद प्रियं”
After the completion of the Puja, all the women began circumambulating the Kalash; while doing the circumambulation, the bodies of all the women got decorated with various gold ornaments. Their houses were also filled with food and wealth, and animals like horses, elephants, cows, etc., also came to their place.
All the women started praising Charumati because it was Charumati who had told them all about this fast. After that, all the women of the city began observing this fast, and then this fast was recognized as Varalakshmi Vrat. It is believed that this story was told by Lord Shiva to Mata Parvati. By listening to this story on Mata Varalakshmi day, one gets the blessings of Lakshmi.
