Lakshmi: She is iconic for all that is auspicious and pure in your home. Goddess of wealth and prosperity accepts a wide range of flowers. Goddess Lakshmi is shown sitting on a lotus and thus that has to be her favorite flower. But in the absence of roses, any kind of red flowers, like red jasmine, please the goddess greatly.

Vermilion or sindoor that is applied by all married Hindu women is also red.
