Lakshmi

Lakshmi (Sanskrit:लक्ष्मी, lakṣmī, ˈləkʂmiː) is the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity (both material and spiritual). She is the wife and active energy of Lord Vishnu. Her four hands represent the four goals of human life considered important to the Hindu way of life – dharma, kāma, artha, and moksha. Representations of Lakshmi are also found in Jain monuments. In Buddhist sects of Tibet, Nepal, and southeast Asia, goddess Vasudhara mirrors the characteristics and attributes of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi with minor iconographic differences.

Lakshmi is also called Sri or Thirumagal because she is endowed with six auspicious and divine strength even to Vishnu. When Vishnu descended on the Earth as the avatars Rama and Krishna, Lakshmi descended as his respective consorts: Sita (Rama's wife) and Rukmini (Krishna's wife). In the ancient scriptures of India, all women are declared to be embodiments of Lakshmi. The marriage and relationship between Lakshmi and Vishnu as wife and husband, states Patricia Monaghan, is "the paradigm for rituals and ceremonies for the bride and groom in Hindu weddings."

Bhargavi (actress)

Bhargavi was born in Gorantla (Guntur district) in 1983. Her first film was YVS Chowdary’s Devadasu. Through this film she had got recognition. Her next film was Ashta Chamma which turned out to be a blockbuster hit. Before acting in Ashta Chamma she had worked in several TV serials. She rose to fame with the tv show Ammamma.com, produced under the banner Just Yellow. On 16 December 2008, Bhargavi was found murdered in her house at Banjara Hills along with an orchestra troupe operator, Praveen Kumar, triggering speculation about the motive behind the deaths.

Death

Praveen (Buji) runs a musical orchestra (Saibaba orchestra) for the past five years. He was quite popular in the Nellore area and was married twice before, to Dolly (daughter of Guntur ex DSP) and Swapna (second heroine in NTR's film Subbu) in the past. He also has a son. There were rumors that Bujji had married Bhargavi (on 12 February 2006) in the presence of his friends at Murali Krishna hotel (in Nellore).

The suicide notes say that Bhargavi and Bujji got married in 2006 and were separated in the past few months. Bhargavi also wrote in the letter that she distanced herself from him after rising to fame with the release of Ashta Chamma. He also claimed that Bhargavi's mother had created a rift between them after Bhargavi got film offers.
