The Divine Mother is attended by and served by Goddess Lakshmi on the left side and Sarasvati Devi on the right side with ceremonial fans.
The Divine Mother is served by Goddess Lakshmi and Sarasvati Devi having ceremonial fans (Chamara). Before the Divine Mother, Lakshmi and Sarasvati are in serving mode. In the world it is rare to see wealth and knowledge/wisdom together in human beings. Lakshmi and Sarasvati Devis explain the glories of the Divine Mother. Those who have the blessings of the Divine Mother will have both material wealth and wisdom together. Those who are wealthy and good at their chosen art ought to spend and contribute to the common people. Material wealth and the Divine Mother’s blessing lead the humans towards Brahman. In Arthanareswara form, the Divine Mother occupies the left side of Lord Shiva. Left side wealth services will stop is the explanation for the Sarasvati Devi serving at right side of the Divine Mother. The ideology is the Divine Mother is there from wealth desire (from Lakshmi Devi) to knowledge desire (from Sarasvati Devi) to reach higher maturity towards Brahman. When the knowledge desire reached the highest level, Brahman is attainable for the humans. Wealth is useful only in this world. So, the devotees ought to learn to keep the wealth desire behind and the knowledge desire at the forefront.
The devis serving the Divine Mother is evident in Sri chakra Bindu where the Divine Mother is ruling the universe as Shri Raja Rajeswari, where all the other deities serve Her as well.
