Lakshmi Ji's Correct Position

Goddess Lakshmi should stand to the right of Lord Narayan — not the left, as commonly depicted. Shakti always belongs to the auspicious right side of her consort. In common speech we say “Sitaram,” “Radheshyam,” “Laxminarayan” — always the feminine name first, meaning she is the positive side.
