Wife of Lord Vishnu, ruler of wealth and resources. Devi Lakshmi is the very image of plenitude. In the sculpture that you see on this page, She is contained by a pristine lotus bloom. In keeping with Her traditional iconography, Her legs are in lalitasana, the anterior hands raised in blessing and abhaya mudra (note the gold coin situated in the creases of Her left-hand palm), and the posterior hands hold up a pair of green-stemmed lotuses that flank Her beauteous face. She is a reservoir of good fortune, She is abundance itself.
A white saree with golden overtones, woven in with booties of gold all over. Bangles on Her wrists, anklets, and a statement necklace rests on Her clavicles. Simple gold studs on Her earlobes add to the gentle beauty of Her face. Wisdom and equanimity and the promise of prosperity to all those who are devoted to Her in their hearts, writ large over Her face. Flaxen hair cascading from under the rim of Her crown and down Her shoulders clad in a pale green sash.
A wide-set halo frames the Devi’s head. It is studded with silver stones and features a hint of flame around the circumference, much like the sun. A crown of pearl and gold graces her brow. It is studded with silver stones and adds to the glamour of Her brow. Her vahana, the elephant, prostrates at Her feet, its proportion indicative of the divine status of its mistress.
How to clean and maintain marble statues?
Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.
Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.
Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.
