Blessing the eyes and the heart with indescribable bliss, the Hindu goddess of wealth appears in this masterpiece bronze as “Swarga-Lakshmi”- the divine resident of heaven, whose presence makes Indra the most powerful and fortunate king of gods.
The Puranas narrate the story of Swarga-Lakshmi’s disappearance, which led to the Samudra-Manthan and the emergence of Lakshmi seated on a bloomed lotus, as the most beautiful woman in the Universe.
Lakshmi is adorned with a crown of peacock motifs, jeweled earrings, a necklace breast band that accentuates her perfect bosom, a waist ornament that highlights her tapering torso, and a dhoti as delicate as water that clings to her beautiful legs.
Her leg folded and slightly raised, the elegance in her hand gestures, and the smile that justifies her epithet “Lalita” (the most beautiful one), the lotus-eyed Lakshmi permeates every part of this Panchaloha, making this statue a perfect representation of the world’s splendor. This sculpture unveils the moment of Lakshmi’s appearance with a realism that makes the metal appear alive.
