The Nava-Lakshmi is a rare, composite iconography of Devi Lakshmi. Of Hinduism’s presiding deity over wealth or resource, these nava (nine) roopas (forms) of the Devi each stand for nine different sources of wealth. Because the Ashta-Lakshmi (‘ashta’ is Sanskrt for eight) is so much more common, this Nava-Lakshmi collection will be a conversation-starter in the home of the devotee.
It is an ensemble of nine engraved brass plates. They are square in shape and consistent in terms of all three dimensions. Each brass plate depicts a distinct roopa of Lakshmi. There is uniformity in the stance - they are all seated in lalitasana, on a wide temple-like throne with pillars and an elaborate aureole with a flower motif at the zenith.
From the chaturbhujadharini (four-armed) to the ashtabhujadharini (eight-armed), this work encompasses every chhavi (image) of the divine. Details such as the pleats of the Devis’ sarees, the multi-tiered crowns, and the implements in their hands have been carved with remarkable precision and clarity, given the scale of the work.

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
