Small
statues are ideal for personal altars, travel shrines, desktops, or small
apartments. They offer the same divine presence as larger statues but in a
compact, space-saving form that is easy to maintain. In traditional Hindu
rituals, the murti of one’s Ishta is comparatively smaller, worshipped
regularly, and awakened through daily interaction with the intent and prayers
of the devotee.
Here are a
few statues of gods, goddesses, and divine beings that are commonly worshipped
and placed as a part of home decor-
Bring the beautiful, holy statue of the invincible Lord Ganesha home to
enliven your living space. Lord Ganesha is a representation of knowledge and
pleasure. He is indeed the Brahmacharins' Lord. He occupies the top rank among celibates or Brahmacharins. He rides on the
Vahana, one little mouse. He is the Muladhara Chakra's Governing God.
Hence the practice of praying to Lord Ganesha before beginning any ceremony or
job. Nothing is achievable without Shri Ganesha's good wishes and cooperation. Nothing can ever be attained without His aid, favor, or approval. The child is introduced to His Mantra of Om
Shri Ganeshaya Namah in certain parts of India during Aksharabhyasam (education
of the alphabets).
The
statue of Lord Shiva is
known to bring strength and life to your abode. Shiva, meanwhile, dissolves in order to start over, as death is a necessity for
reincarnation into a fresh start. Thus, his existence encompasses both extremes
of life and death, or development and annihilation.
Goddess Lakshmi is a representation of escaping the material world via
spirituality and of sustaining goodness in the face of challenging trials. Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune,
demonstrates how to overcome earthly wealth in order to progress
intellectually. Furthermore, the lotus symbolizes innocence, fertility, and
grace.
The
name Annapurna is a blend of the phrases ``Anna," which signifies food,
and "purna," which signifies "completely satisfied." The
deity of food and cooking is Annapurna. She is an embodiment of Goddess
Parvati, Lord Shiva's consort. She is the deity of nourishment and never allows her devotees to starve. She is
recognized as the deity of Kashi in Uttar Pradesh too.
Since the goddess provides nourishment to the soul in the shape of knowledge, Kashi, also referred as Varanasi, is alluded to as the "city of light." She inspires us with the desire to study. The Annapurna Sahasranama outlines a hundred names by which people still refer to the deity Annapurna.
Small Durga statues often depict her on her lion, weapons in hand,
sitting with her hand raised in Abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness) or
vanquishing Mahishasura, the buffalo demon. She is the destroyer of evil, the
nurturer of righteousness, and the protector of dharma.
Statues of Maa Durga in brass, bronze, or stone, wall hangings of the goddess,
and sacred decor with her images are powerful reminders of her presence in a
home.
A small brass
or stone statue of Krishna, with his flute and peacock feather, brings joy,
love, and creates a connection with the divine. He is the guide in the Gita,
the mischievous Makhan Chor, and the eternal romantic of Radha. For puja ghar,
spiritual decor of home, Krishna-Janmashtami Puja, and festive gifting, a small
idol of Krishna is a perfect choice.
Known as
Mahaveer and Pavanputra, Hanuman embodies loyalty, courage, and wisdom. Small
idols of Hanuman show him sitting in meditation, repeating the name of Rama,
carrying the Dronagiri mountain, or standing in a devout pose. For a bhakta of
Sri Rama, or Hanuman, or anyone seeking unshakable protection of the divine, a
small Hanuman statue is an ideal image.
The Hindu
preserver god, Bhagwan Vishnu, is a popular deity, whose images present him as
a four-armed god, with Sri Devi and Bhudevi, seated on Sheshanaga or throne, or
standing upright, or the more culturally rich Padmanabha Swamy, in which Vishnu
reclines on the serpent. A small statue of Vishnu might seem simple, but it
contains the moments of cosmic creation and preservation in its details.
A small
Balaji statue brings with it the grace of Tirupati’s Lord Venkateswara, a form
of Vishnu, whose temple is situated in Andhra Pradesh. Revered as the deity of
auspiciousness, prosperity, and the awakening of wisdom, Balaji is often
worshipped to fulfill wishes and remove obstacles. His compact brass form,
often adorned with intricate details and sacred markings, with Vaishnava
symbols or with goddess Padmavati, is are powerful idol for worship or for
decor.
For students,
creatives, working professionals, or anyone seeking to bring a creative element
into their lives, a small statue of Maa Saraswati can be a powerful idol. The
goddess is shown seated on a lotus or with her swan, Veena, in her hands.
Images of Lakshmi-Ganesha-Saraswati are also a good option, especially for
Diwali worship and sacred home decor.
Statues of
Buddha are one of the most popular images worldwide. Buddha head, Buddha in
meditation, Buddha teaching his Dhamma, Buddha in earth-touching pose, standing
Buddha, and other images of Buddha contain important legends from his life, and
work as a symbol of his teachings in a space. Small statues of Buddha make for
a thoughtful gift and an aesthetic addition to meditation spaces, living rooms,
altars, or workspace.
Images such
as Kubera idols, Garuda statue, idols of Kamadhenu, Nandi, symbols such as Om
and Swastika, and Yantras such as Sri Yantra, complement and enhance the energy
of the Puja space. These small statues are integral to a sacred Puja space in
the home or spiritual decor of a home, or for Vastu purposes.
