According to Hindu mythology, the owl, specifically a barn owl, is the vehicle or “vahana” of Goddess Lakshmi. It is said that Lakshmi is always seen with her owl, which symbolizes wisdom in using the wealth and prosperity that she bestows,This is because its big round eyes are focused and do not move. Hence, it represents wit and intelligence, and wisdom. Accompanying the goddess of wealth, the Owl denotes wisdom in using the wealth. On the other hand, the Owl also represents Alakshmi, the polar opposite of Goddess Lakshmi
