Summary[edit]

Description
English: Jyeshta was a favourite Goddess of Pallavas and worshipped as a Fertility Goddess and by some as Sanigraha's wife. She is one among the Parivara deities of Shiva, but with the popularity of Laxmi on the rise the Alaxmi worship had a downfall and she was moved far away from the temple premises. She is now found abandoned near Ponds and Water bodies with no worship. Only some temples have retained her within the premises.
