😛😲they should have kept lohitang's attitude and style,the way they showed in the lohitang's promo,his behaviour was entertaining in the begining,but slowly it is crossing the limits and with friday's episode,it has already crossed.

TFS 😊

But i must say its quite an intriguing symbol..Devi Lakshmi is depicted as "the red point" , fair enough , but why just "Vishnu's legs" in the "U shape" ?..😳..if Devi Lakshmi can be depicted entirely in the symbol , y cant it be the same for Vishnu ?.. y just his "legs" ?.. is it bcoz Lakshmi is always depicted massaging Vishnu's foot 😡..if yes, then its one more reason y i am not that fond of Vaishnavism ..😔

You know.. I don't think it means that Lakshmi is always pressing the feet and subservient or anything..

See Wikipedia:

The mark here is called Sricharanam. Members of the Sri Vaishnava tradition form tilak with two lines representing the feet of Narayana, with a red line in the middle which representing Lakshmidevi. A small line on the top bridge of the nose which represents that the wearer belongs to the Thenkalai subsect. Because the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya begins with Lakshmi, and because they approach Narayana through Lakshmi, their tilak reflects this process of surrender, known as Saranagati (or sometimes also Prapatti). Within Sri Vaishnavism, this process of surrender (sarangati) to Vishnu.

TFS.. hmm, this explanation 'almost' helps to shoot down the speculation...but to each his own..😊

Aakash, My interpretation,

Vishnu is the Palanhar - maintainer sustainer, for which Wealth is a requirement - so Lakshmi is his consort.

The symbolism of showing Lakshmi at Vishnu's feet serving him, is in my op (As always, a caveat, this is entirely my op), to show us that Wealth has to serve us and that we should not serve Wealth. It has nothing to do with equality of the genders.

Most iconography is symbolic - and I guess each one interprets it differently
