A monochrome brass goddess Lakshmi statue, this icon draws from the traditional iconography of the mother goddess, who is the source of all things that are fortunate and virtuous. Goddess Lakshmi from her earliest mentions in ancient Hindu scriptures rules the realms of fertility, abundance, and auspiciousness. To emphasize Devi Lakshmi’s role as the bestower of the boons of progeny, fecundity of fields, and pleasantness in life, her icons illustrate the goddess as a youthful woman, who in Hindu tradition is the ideal symbol of productiveness and propitiousness. In this small brass goddess Lakshmi statue, Devi is a female brimming with youth, seated on a superb lotus throne in the yogic Padmasana or lotus posture that is characteristic of divine beings that confer on the mortals the ability to achieve Param-brahmana (the supreme wisdom). Devi Lakshmi wears a queenly Mukuta (crown) that reinforces her status as the universal queen mother while her torso is sparsely embellished to highlight her celestial beauty. Though simplistic in make, this brass goddess Lakshmi is imbued with the universal mystique of Maa Lakshmi, which is visible in the surprisingly enlivened countenance of the goddess.
In a Hindu household, having a goddess Lakshmi statue in the Pooja-ghar (place of worship) is a way to bring auspicious energies into the home. Using ritually prescribed methods, this small goddess Lakshmi statue can be evoked with aavahana (calling the goddess to the home), aasana (providing her a place to reside), pada-prakshalana (washing the feet), snana (bathing the icon), vastra (offering fineries), kumkum tilak (auspicious mark on the forehead and feet), dhoop (incense), deepa (lamp), and naivadiyam (food). In this manner, Maa Lakshmi is established in a home where her presence ensures a flow of propitiousness, fertility, abundance, happiness, and positivity. A durable and divine statue, this brass Lakshmi icon allows you to devotedly perform the pooja and invite the great-goddess to stay in your home and heart.
