Lakshmiji sitting on a lotus is considered a symbol of prosperity and knowledge.

It is clearly said in the scriptures that worshiping an idol made of clay is most fruitful. The clay idol consists of five elements (earth, water, fire, air and sky), which brings stability to the house with the energy and blessings of the Gods and Goddesses during the puja.
If the idol of Ganesh-Lakshmi is made from the soil of Ganga, pond, well or cow shed, then its importance increases even more. Such idols are considered extremely auspicious and sacred.
