Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat is one of the most important fasts dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, observed mainly on Fridays. This vrat is believed to remove financial troubles, bless the devotee with happiness, mental peace, prosperity, and family harmony. But according to scriptures, unless the fast is done with purity, devotion, and discipline, the blessings of Mata Lakshmi are not fully received.
