“Hiranyavarna”- she whose skin shimmers like pure gold, is an epithet for the goddess of wealth and abundance, Sri Lakshmi. In this large brass statue that mimics the brilliance of molten gold, Devi Lakshmi appears to be the home of universal richness and luxuries of three realms.
Emanating luster and allure of divine femininity, goddess Lakshmi stands on a Padmasana (lotus pedestal), adorned with a Vaishnava Kiritamukuta, jeweled ornaments, and silken garments that cling to her lovely form to highlight the perfection that is embodied by her auspicious form.
There is a sense of delicateness, essence of life that is felt in the way the elements are delineated in the statute. From the gentle bend in Devi Lakshmi’s body, the delicateness of her fingers clasped around lotus stalks, the animation in her lotus eyes- the maker of this statue has infused the icon with a distinct liveliness that gives one a sense of being in the presence of the benevolent beloved of Sri Vishnu.
