Lakshmi

And there, in a lotus pond, was the goddess Lakshmi holding lotuses in her beautiful hands [...] Hanuman was struck with wonder.

— "Sundara" 6.10-7.1

Lakshmi, goddess of good fortune, wealth, and beauty, is one of the best-known deities in the Hindu religion. She forms a part of Ramayana through Sita, Rama's wife. Just as Rama is an avatar of Vishnu, Sita is an avatar of Lakshmi. Both the goddess and her earthly counterpart are known for their beauty and grace. Additionally, Lakshmi and Vishnu's divine relationship parallels Rama and Sita's. Devotees of the Ramayana may turn to these couples to seek advice on love and relationships.

The quote above mentions a symbol commonly associated with Lakshmi — the lotus. The lotus as a symbol of beauty is common in the Ramayana; for example, an attractive character can be described as having "lotus-shaped eyes," referring to the smooth shape of a lotus petal. Another frequent symbol associated with the beloved goddess is the pair of elephants that flank her, as seen in the artwork below. Elephants are associated with wisdom and hard work, which leads to the fortune and prosperity that worshippers of Lakshmi hope for.
