The Shakti of Vishnu-Narayana and one of the Tridevis, goddess Lakshmi in Hinduism represents the cosmic mother who has the capacity to nurture all beings. Her evocation causes the removal of negativity from life and brings the light of abundance, fortune and auspiciousness, enabling the devotee to fulfil the four cardinal goals-Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. An ode to the all-powerful Lakshmi, this bronze statue of the goddess presents her as the supreme queen mother.
The throne of goddess Lakshmi is situated on an intricately decorated base with vegetation motifs and lotus petals adorning it. A stunning aureole with multiple mystical animals surrounds the great mother, making this brass goddess Lakshmi icon a divine shrine with its grandeur.
Two yalis- horse and lion composite stand in the lowermost section of the aureole holding the ornate arch on their back which has the figures of Makara (composite crocodile and elephant) and Kirtimukha (face of glory) marking the universal sovereignty that is personified by Maa Lakshmi. The great mother goddess sits on an inverted lotus seat with her legs folded in the “Swastikasana”, the auspicious pose, wearing a Kiritamukuta (Vaishnava crown), 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. Elephants- the ancient symbol for royalty and superiority form part of this stately brass composite as minuscule figures in front of Devi Lakshmi, offering floral garlands to her splendid roopa.
