Star of Lakshmi is not a Hindu symbol for Ashta Lakshmi

The star of Lakshmi representing Ashta Lakshmi needs to be removed as it is a misrepresentation owing to the movie - The return of the pink panther". This needs to be corrected or at the very least requires a proper archeological/religious/historical citation that can verify this.

To have a better idea one can look at the yantra of Ashta Lakshmi which is the proper geometrical representation and does not match this. A movie cannot be a valid source to represent religious/historical/anthropological facts that have to be sourced from more concrete sources than an author's imagination.
