The gorgeous Devi Meenakshi is a roopa (form) of Devi Parvati Herself. Her husband is the Sundareshvara roopa of Lord Shiva. The patron deity of Madurai, an ancient district in the heart of Tamil Nadu, is portrayed here in Her exact iconographical beauty.
Meenakshi Devi stands tall and stately on an upturned lotus-shaped pedestal. She is sculpted from panchaloha, a unique alloy made from a blend of copper, zinc, and iron with precious gold and silver metals. It gives this murti the burnished metallic finish that is unique to our collection here at Exotic India.
The traditional standing chaturbhujadharini Devi image is flanked by temple pillars. An ornate archway circles high above Her head. These sections in specific are hallmarks of authenticity, given that they borrow heavily from the ancient temple architecture of the South (this particularly includes the Kirtimukham aureole at the zenith of the archway).
