A popular name for the goddess Lakshmi in Hinduism and Lakshmi tantra is Padma. She is also known as Padmavati (she who emerged from a lotus) and Padmini (she who is as beautiful as the lotus flower). Lotus in Hinduism and Buddhism is a symbol of brilliance, purity, beauty, and vitality. As the great mother goddess who rules the realm of material and spiritual excellence, Lakshmi is naturally associated with lotus and its potential.
Maa Lakshmi appears meditative in this brass murti, which looks remarkable owing to the repetition of the lotus motif. The lotus throne on which goddess Sri Lakshmi sits has lotus flowers engraved on its stylized petals and the lotus pattern is noticeable on the sari she is wrapped in. Devi holds two lotus buds in her hands, and with her main hands, she forms the Abhaya (fearlessness) and Varada (giving boon) mudra. Following the scheme of the image, a floral halo decorates her head. The maker of this brass Lakshmi idol has used a mixture of incised lines and curves which has added a beautiful perspective to it.
