The painting that you see here portrays Lord Venkateshvara with His internal potency Goddess Padmavati. The Lord is a form of Vishnu who appeared in South India to revive the lost God consciousness in the hearts of people. Goddess Padmavati who is one of the manifestations of Lakshmi can never be separated from Her Lord is always engaged in His service with love and devotion. Every bit of this painting has been decorated with 24 Karat gold studded with sequences of red and green stones giving it an aesthetic look.
Surrounded by the majestic and appealing prabhavali with Kirtimukha motif at its top and the Sudarshan Chakra and Panchajanya conch shell established on its either side, Lord Venkateshvara stands tall atop a pedestal elaborately adorned with heavy ornaments from His head to His lotus feet. The symbol of Goddess Lakshmi (Shrivatsa) resides on the chest of the Lord which is considered as the dwelling place of the Goddess of fortune. A serpent is coiled around each of His upper arms that hold Sudarshan Chakra and Conch Shell, while the lower hands are in the boon granting Varada Mudra and resting gesture. When the Lord appeared on the earth in Kali Yuga, His devoted wife Lakshmi came along Him to be always present with Him for serving His lotus feet in the form of Goddess Padmavati. Here, She is seated on a full-blown lotus flower near the Lord’s lotus feet in Ardhapadmasana. Attired in a beautiful green saree and adorned with several jewels including a crown on Her head, She holds a lotus in each of Her two upper hands while the lower hands are in Abhaya and Varada Mudra. Whoever sees this painting sees not just the icons of Lord Venkateshvara and Goddess Padmavati, but the place where no miseries are to be found i.e., Vaikuntha.
