Goddess Lakshmi is an embodiment of grace, luxury, purity and loveliness, blessing devotees of fortune and wealth. As per the lore, she is said to have incarnated from the ocean of milk holding a lotus in her hands and grants devotees with both worldly prosperity and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
This brass sculpture depicts the Goddess in the best of her personalities and royalty while being seated on an inverted lotus in an unconventional cross-legged posture to suit a female’s disposition.
One of the glamorous aspects of this Lakshmi brass sculpture is the stylized semi-circular base decorated in beautiful and smooth carvings, with a double-layered view at the bottom and the Kirtimukha face in the centre with its fangs protruding long enough to form a pattern of coiled beauty of vines.
Goddess Lakshmi is also known by the name ‘Gajalakshmi’, signifying the Goddess with elephants (Gaja), which the sculptor has amazingly depicted with the two elephants flanking her, are shown in an action of lustrating her as if pouring water from their trunk on the Goddess.
Chaturbhujadharini has her hands gracefully tattooed in henna with the right anterior one blessing of valiance and the other in a posture of granting wealth (gold coins) to her devotees; posterior hands hold a lotus flower each symbolizing self-knowledge and purity. The intricate carves of the circular arched prabhavali is a treat to watch.
Its perfect shape, multiple layers and utter smoothness reflect the carver’s perfection of skills. The outermost layer is decorated with a vented design of flower petals and topped with a similarly styled lotus flower in the centre. The detailed carves of her long crown complement that of the little visible lower garment. The charming necklaces, kundals, bracelets and anklets add up to the royalty of the Goddess’ persona.
