On the third day morning of the on-going nine-day annual karthika Brahmotsavams of Goddess Padmavathi Devi at Tiruchanoor, the Goddess of Riches took celestial ride on pearl carrier-Mutyapu Pandiri Vahanam. According to Vedic Astrology Pearl represents the planet Moon. Moon reflects the human mind, and impacts on our thinking. Pearls help in maintaining the stability of our minds and increases self confidence. Being the beloved sister of Lord Chandra-the moon, Goddess Padmavathi takes a pleasure ride on the pearly canopy which instils great feel of love, enhances patience and increases self confidence among Her devotees.
