What is Varalakshmi Vratham?
Varalakshmi Vratham is observed by married women on the Friday before Shravana Purnima, invoking Goddess Lakshmi as the giver of boons (vara) for the wellbeing, prosperity and long life of the family.
The goddess is invoked into a kalasham decorated with her face, a saree and jewellery. The women tie a sacred yellow thread (thoram / nombu charadu) on their wrist, listen to the story of Charumathi, and offer tamboolam to other married women (suvasinis).

Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
