Rukmini (Sanskrit: रुक्मिणी, lit. 'radiant', IAST: Rukmiṇī) is a Hindu goddess and the first queen of Krishna in Dvaraka.[6][7][8] In Vaishnava tradition, she is described as Krishna's principal queen in Dvaraka, as well as the chief of his wives.[9] She is an incarnation of the goddess of prosperity, Lakshmi.[10] The goddess is regarded to be the chief or principal consort of Krishna in various pieces of literature [11][12] and is venerated primarily in Warkari and Haridasa tradition, and additionally in Sri Vaishnavism where Lakshmi-Narayana are revered and worshipped.[13][14][15][16]
Rukmini is mainly worshipped in Maharashtra and South India. The people of Maharashtra venerate her with Vithoba (a regional form of Krishna) and call her Rakhumai.[17] In South India, she is worshipped along with Krishna and his other primary consort Satyabhama.
