In Hinduism, goddess Lakshmi, one of the Tridevis and Shakti of Vishnu-Narayana, symbolizes the cosmic mother who is able to nurture all beings. By removing negativity from life and bringing in wealth, luck, and auspiciousness, her invocation makes it possible for the devotee to achieve the four cardinal aims of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. This bronze statue of Lakshmi depicts her as the ultimate queen mother, a tribute to the all-powerful goddess.
The throne of goddess Lakshmi is situated on a finely decorated base with lotus petals adorning it. The robust arch attached to the golden plinth is embellished with rays of brilliance (Prabhavali), which are transformed into gracefully curving petal motifs and vines, creating a lyrical visualization of the fecundity and abundance that Sri Lakshmi births.
The great mother goddess sits on an inverted lotus seat with her legs folded in the “Padmasana”, the lotus pose, wearing a Kiritamukuta (Vaishnava crown) adorned with a blossoming lotus-shaped aura, several delicate ornaments, a fine dhoti with its anterior folds spread luxuriantly in the front. Devi Lakshmi is in her four-armed form, holding two lotuses in her secondary hands, with her left and right-hand position in the gesture of disseminating boons and fearlessness respectively.
The facial features of the goddess are delineated with perfection, offering her arched brows, large eyes, elegant nose, inwardly smiling lips, and a fuller face. The elephant- the ancient symbol for royalty and superiority forms a part of this stately brass Sri Lakshmi composite, in a wondrously dynamic posture, his gigantic form is dwarfed by the majesty of Maa Lakshmi.
