In India, she is considered analogous to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth. Ardoksho holds a central place in understanding the religious and political culture of the Kushan Empire. Her appearance on coins particularly during the reigns of emperors like Huvishka and Kanishka reflects the Kushans syncretic approach to divine representation, blending Zoroastrian, Indian, and Greco-Roman iconographic elements and by placing Ardoksho on coins, the Kushan emperors emphasized divinely sanctioned wealth and stability.
