This Tanjore painting presents Goddess Gajalakshmi, the harbinger of prosperity, seated gracefully on a lotus, a remembrance of her emergence during the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean).
In this celebrated iconography, two grand elephants, or gajas, flank her, symbolizing royalty and auspiciousness, as they honor her with sacred waters, giving the goddess the epithet of “Gajalakshmi”.
Lakshmi Devi, youthful and radiant, sits in Padmasana, embodying the ideal attributes of femininity.
In her hand, she holds a pot of wealth, from which a cascade of coins flows into the foreground, representing her blessings of abundance.
Against a serene blue background, her presence glows like the moon, bringing a sense of peace and fortune.
