Cast in pure bronze by deft hands of skilled artisans, a revolving idol was formed, seating Lord Ganesha, and Goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswati.
Attached to their pedestals are little mystical birds, holding curved spaces intended for diyas to be lit so that devotees can pray to them.
These three divine beings from the Hindu pantheon of gods are often worshiped together as they are known to bless their followers with wisdom and prosperity.
Being the Vighnaharta (remover of obstacles), Ganesha is placed in the middle in this trinity.
He is the one who is invoked first before any auspicious event—home inaugurations, marriages, and more. He is said to have infinite wisdom as well and his worshippers get blessed with good luck. Goddess Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Her lower two hands are curved in Abhaya and varada mudra, showering those who pray to her with opulence.
In her upper two hands, she carries two lotuses, symbolizing a certain divine purity. The final idol on this sculpture is that of the highly venerated Goddess Saraswati. She is the goddess of endless knowledge and music. Just like here, she is often portrayed with a veena in her hands, composing ethereal music. Together, they bless people with a peaceful and prosperous life.
