Rukmini, princess of Vidarbha and chief queen of Krishna, is honoured as an avatar of Lakshmi herself. When her brother tried to marry her to another, she wrote to Krishna and asked him to come — and he did.
"In a single letter, she chose her own destiny, and the lord of the universe answered her call."
Intelligent, devoted and quietly bold, Rukmini represents love, dignity and the courage to follow one's heart. A daughter named Rukmini carries grace, intelligence and a strong, loving will.
