That city was built from gold. There was a woman named Charumati in that city. Charumati used to take great care of her husband and she was a great devotee of Mata Lakshmi. Every Friday, Charumati used to fast on Mata Lakshmi and Lakshmi was also very happy with her.
Once, Mother Lakshmi came in the dream of Charumati and told her about this fast. Then from Charumati, along with all the women of that city methodically kept this fast and worshiped Maa Lakshmi. As soon as the worship of Charumati was done, many gold jewelery was decorated on his body and his house also became full of wealth.
