Lakshmi's Commute

Lakshmi works at the Manakkula Vinayagar Temple, where she welcomes people, gives blessings with her trunk and receives bananas, grass and other gifts. She lives at the Eswaran Kovil Temple. She can often be seen walking nonchalantly down my street to and from her residence with bells tinkling around her feet and ankles as in the video clip below.
