This delicately crafted sculpture of Goddess Lakshmi, rendered in pristine white, exemplifies purity and tranquility, characteristics often attributed to the deity herself. Goddess Lakshmi, widely revered in Hindu mythology as the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and the embodiment of beauty, is depicted here seated elegantly on a lotus pedestal, which symbolizes purity and spiritual power. The lotus, emerging from murky waters unspoiled and beautiful, represents the promise of purity and enlightenment amidst worldly trials.
In her four arms, which signify her omnipresence and omnipotence, Lakshmi holds potent symbols. Two of her hands gently clutch lotus flowers, reinforcing her association with fertility, purity, and spiritual wealth. Another hand is depicted in the Abhaya Mudra, a soothing gesture of reassurance and protection, offering blessings of safety and peace to her devotees. The fourth hand releases a stream of golden coins, illustrating her role as a dispenser of wealth and material prosperity. This act not only highlights her generosity but also her control over the material fortunes of the world.
