The Star of Lakshmi is a complex {8/2} star figure (i.e. two squares with the same centre at 45° angles), and figures in Hinduism, where it represents Ashtalakshmi, the eight forms, or "kinds of wealth", of the goddess Lakshmi. This symbol appears prominently in the fictional Lugash National Museum portrayed in the film Return of the Pink Panther. [1]
