“Balambika”- bal or young, Ambika or mother goddess, is a unique aspect of Parvati’s form as Tripurasundari, the most beautiful woman in three realms. Revered popularly in Southern India and Shakta-Tantra tradition, Balambika is an eternally youthful and powerful sixteen-year-old divine feminine. She is the manifestation of Parvati’s auspicious and supreme beauty which she was bestowed with by Shiva, a beauty that never fades. Pure and potent, Balambika is worshipped by devotees to receive boons of Roopa (beauty) and Saubhagya (fortune). In this bronze statue, goddess Balambika is represented in her characteristic form, as a 16-year-old girl, attired in a lovely saree, with her hair in a charming braid. Chaturbhuja or four-armed, Balambika carries a book and rosary in her hand as symbols of spiritual powers, and has her primary hands in Varada and Abhaya mudra, the gesture of giving boon and dispelling fears.
