Talk:Jyestha (goddess)

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Alakshmi into Jyestha. The article "Alakshmi" lacks information. Alakshmi is also regarded as the another name of Jyestha. Their legends are similar too. 245CMR (talk) 01:26, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Jyeshtha is identified with Alakshmi in scriptures like Linga Purana. However, differences exist. Jyeshtha is normally a South Indian goddess, Alakshmi is worshiped in Bengal ,. In Mahabharata, in Samudra manthan, Alakshmi is said to be with Asuras . Lemon and chillies are offered to Alakshmi Kinsley while comparing Dhumavati to Jyestha and Alakshmi  mentions that Alakshmi is described as an old hag; Jyestha as a married woman. -- Redtigerxyz  Talk 17:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
