From the Vedic times, two things associated with Lakshmi are the lotus (Kamala)- her home and throne and the luster of gold, that radiates from her endlessly.

The superfine brass icon appears to have recreated Sri Lakshmi in her Vedic form.

On the lotus throne rendered exquisitely, Lakshmi sits in the lotus pose or Padmasana. A regal crown, necklace with Trishula (trident) pendant, and saree adorn the most beautiful Lakshmi.

On the reverse, ornamentation of the crown, perfectly pleated braid, and folds of saree elevate the aesthetic beauty of the icon.

Rows of gold sprout from Devi Lakshmi’s hand in Varada- an attribute of her Dhana Lakshmi Roopa, in which the goddess is a powerful bestower of luxuries in life.
