Maa Lakshmi in the Hindu pantheon is the idealization of the divine feminine as “Daayini”, the giver. Her aashirvaad (boon) is the prerequisite for attaining dharma, artha, kama, and moksha, the four cardinal goals of human life. Carrying such profound spiritual values, a Maa Lakshmi statue is sculpted with the utmost reverence and keeping in mind the rules of her iconography as per the ancient texts. This brass Kamalasana (she who is enthroned on a Kamala or lotus) Maa Lakshmi murti is a popular form in which the goddess is worshipped across India. Devi has a Karanda mukuta (inverted basket-shaped crown) on her head, Kundala (dangling earrings), rows of necklaces, bracelets, and a floral garland beautifying her divine presence. Simple waves of incised lines are employed on the brass Lakshmi Mata statue to delineate the folds of her glimmering golden sari whose delicate front piece lays elegantly on the lotus throne. Devi Lakshmi holds two lotuses in her secondary hands while her primary right and left hands are in the Abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness) and Varada mudra (gesture of bestowing boon) respectively. Parallel and simple etchings on the face of the goddess reveal the solemn and divine countenance of this Mata Lakshmi brass icon.
In a Hindu household, having a goddess Lakshmi statue in the Pooja-ghar (place of worship) is a way to bring auspicious energies into the home. Using ritually prescribed methods, this small goddess Lakshmi statue can be evoked with aavahana (calling the goddess to the home), aasana (providing her a place to reside), pada-prakshalana (washing the feet), snana (bathing the icon), vastra (offering fineries), kumkum tilak (auspicious mark on the forehead and feet), dhoop (incense), deepa (lamp), and naivadiyam (food). In this manner, Maa Lakshmi is established in a home where her presence ensures a flow of propitiousness, fertility, abundance, happiness, and positivity. A durable and divine statue, this brass Lakshmi icon allows you to devotedly perform the pooja and invite the great-goddess to stay in your home and heart.
