A brass idol of Goddess Padmavathi Thayar (also known as Alamelu Manga or Alarmelmangai) holds immense significance, particularly for devotees of Lord Venkateswara (Balaji). She is considered an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, and specifically, the consort of Lord Venkateswara in the Tirupati lore.

Spiritual and Religious Usage:

Goddess of Prosperity and Well-being:

Padmavathi Thayar is worshipped as the direct embodiment of wealth, prosperity, good fortune, and abundance. Her name "Padmavati" literally means "she of the lotus," and the lotus is a powerful symbol of purity, beauty, and divine creation.

Her worship is believed to attract financial stability, remove financial obstacles, grant material comfort, and ensure overall well-being in life.

She is also associated with fertility and is prayed to by couples seeking children.

Complement to Lord Balaji/Venkateswara:

In the Vaishnava tradition, it is often emphasized that one should worship Goddess Lakshmi (in this form, Padmavathi Thayar) before approaching Lord Vishnu/Venkateswara. This tradition is famously followed at Tirupati, where pilgrims first visit the Padmavathi Ammavari Temple at Tiruchanur before going to Tirumala to see Lord Venkateswara.

Having a brass idol of Padmavathi Thayar in the home, especially alongside a Balaji idol, signifies a complete and holistic worship of the divine couple. While Balaji grants spiritual blessings and protection, Thayar ensures material prosperity and well-being, completing the devotee's life.
