Relation Between Lakshmi and Owl

Owl has been represented as Vehicle of Wealth’s Goddess Lakshmi.

How Owl became Lakshmi Vehicle

According to Indian Vedic Astrology, Once all the gods and goddesses were assigning their vehicles. When Goddess Laxmi’s turn came, she started thinking about which animal she should choose as her vehicle. While Lakshmi was thinking about choosing her vehicle, all animals and birds started fighting among themselves to become the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi. Then Lakshmi silenced them and told them every year on the day of Kartik Amavasya, I come to visit the earth. So, That day I will make one of you my vehicle.

On the day of Kartik Amavasya, all animals and birds waited for Lakshmi for the whole day. But Goddess Lakshmi came At night. That time only Owl saw Goddess Lakshmi with his sharp eyes in the darkness and reached near her at a rapid speed and started praying to her that you should accept me as your vehicle.

Goddess Laxmi looked around and did not see any animal or bird there, so she gladly accepted owl as her vehicle.
