“Feeding the hungry is the greatest service to the divine."

The holy goddess of nutrition and abundance is embodied in a copper statue known as the Small Hindu Goddess Annapurna Mata. With a ladle and a container of food, Annapurna Mata represents the value of food as a source of nutrition and life. Her maternal and caring energy is captured in this sculpture, encouraging us to appreciate and spread the gift of food to others. The presence of Annapurna Mata serves as a reminder of the importance of providing for the needs of others and feeding the poor. Inspiring us to be kind and giving of ourselves, she reminds us that when we serve others, we are also serving the divine.
