Varamahalakshmi is one of the most cherished festivals for families across Karnataka. Every year, thousands of women in Bangalore look for Varamahalakshmi silver gifts to bring home before the puja begins. At G V Silver, we’re a second-generation silversmith family based in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We’ve spent years crafting the silver idols, coins, and jewellery that make this festival special. Need a Lakshmi idol for your kalasha, or a gift for the women in your family? This guide covers the right silver pieces to shop this Varamahalakshmi.
When is Varamahalakshmi 2026 in Bangalore?
In Karnataka, Varamahalakshmi Vratha is traditionally observed on the Friday before Shravana Purnima. For 2026, most Kannada panchangs, including the date followed by ISKCON Bangalore, mark the festival on Friday, 21 August 2026. Some other regional calendars, where Shravana Purnima itself falls on Friday, 28 August, observe the vrata that week instead. If you’re unsure which date your family follows, check with your family priest or the panchang your household uses. Both dates are valid within different traditions.
Why Silver Matters for Varamahalakshmi Puja
Silver has always held a special place in South Indian pujas, and Varamahalakshmi is no exception. Families traditionally dress the kalasha’s centre with a silver or brass pot and a silver Lakshmi face. Silver ornaments complete the look, adorning the Goddess the way she’d appear in a temple. Silver is pure and auspicious, so it’s the metal most families choose for Varamahalakshmi silver gifts. This ranges from vayanam exchanges with married women guests to the coins and bangles families give to daughters and daughters-in-law.
Varamahalakshmi Silver Gifts You Can Shop at G V Silver
We’ve put together our most-loved festival pieces so you don’t have to run between stores this week:
- Silver Lakshmi and antique idols — our Antique Idols collection includes Lakshmi-Ganesha-Saraswati sets and Gaja Lakshmi pieces. We also craft Venkateshwara with Lakshmi and Padmavati, all finished with our signature custom antique work.
- 92.5 sterling silver jewellery — bangles, anklets, and chains that are perfect for vayanam exchanges or gifting to the women who visit your home.
- Gold-plated Lakshmi jewellery — necklaces such as the Gold Plated 3D Lakshmi Necklace and the Lakshmi Kasu Necklace. We manufacture each piece in pure 92.5 silver, for a festive look that lasts.
- Silver articles, hallmarked in 82 and 92.5 purity, for pooja essentials beyond the kalasha.
We hallmark every piece. Because we manufacture in our Nagarbhavi workshop, you’re buying factory-to-store with no middleman, for better silver at a fairer price.
How to Prepare Your Kalasha with Silver
If you’re setting up the kalasha yourself this year, keep a few silver pieces ready. Use a silver or silver-faced Lakshmi mukhota for the top of the kalasha. Place a set of silver coins around the base as an offering. Add a few silver bangles or a chain to drape over the pot. Preparing your kalasha is also the perfect time to lay out the Varamahalakshmi silver gifts you’ll give as vayanam. These small additions are what most families remember from their own mothers’ and grandmothers’ celebrations. They make lovely keepsakes long after the festival ends.
