Bronze Hindu Goddess Lakshmi On Lotus Hinduism Display Statue

The quality and detail on the statue is very good making it a beautiful product for this size group. The weight is perfect at a good price.

This idol is absolutely stunning! The artistry is remarkable, and the colors are so rich and lively—they really make it stand out. I’ve never seen such a beautiful idol before. It brings an incredible sense of serenity and devotion to my prayer area. The quality is top-notch, and it arrived safely and promptly. A truly magnificent piece that adds both charm and spirituality to any home. Highly recommend!

So…this boomer has a confession: I have been loving this since 2018. I used it to create a beautiful ensemble. It is sturdy with beautiful details. I like the color and the antiquing. It was the right size for my needs. Thank you for reading my review, This Boomer CherylAE

The details are surprising for a murti that is this inexpensive. The colors are darker and more muted than the photo, which I like (and which looks well with my other murtis. The details are more well-crafted than I expect with a statue of this cost.

This figure is absolutely beautiful. It is very well made, the detail is great, overall a great buy!

I normally don't like resin products, but I could not find what I wanted at a price I could afford. This is, however, a very pretty Lakshmi sculpture. She has a place now in my home and I find it very comforting. If you know the story of the Goddess Lakshmi (Lakṣmī) you understand why she is often displayed in the home. When the home is kept well it is not just cleaning but also making a good life for oneself. Despite being resin, this is very pretty. Despite what one reviewer said there is nothing corrupted or incorrect about this image. Here is a description of her depictions for comparison: "Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual. The word ''Lakshmi'' is derived from the Sanskrit word Laksme, meaning "goal." Lakshmi, therefore, represents the goal of life, which includes worldly as well as spiritual prosperity. In Hindu mythology, Goddess Lakshmi, also called Shri, is the divine spouse of Lord Vishnu and provides Him with wealth for the maintenance and preservation of the creation. In Her images and pictures, Lakshmi is depicted in a female form with four arms and four hands. She wears red clothes with a golden lining and is standing on a lotus. She has golden coins and lotuses in her hands. Two elephants (some pictures show four) are shown next to the Goddess. This symbolism conveys the following spiritual theme: The four arms represent the four directions in space and thus symbolize omnipresence and omnipotence of the Goddess. The red color symbolizes activity. The golden lining (embroidery) on Her red dress denotes prosperity. The idea conveyed here is that the Goddess is always busy distributing wealth and prosperity to the devotees. The lotus seat, which Lakshmi is standing upon, signifies that while living in this world, one should enjoy its wealth, but not become obsessed with it. Such a living is analogous to a lotus that grows in water but is not wetted by water. The four hands represent the four ends of human life: dharma (righteousness), kama (genuine desires), artha (wealth), and moksha (liberation from birth and death). The front hands represent the activity in the physical world and the back hands indicate the spiritual activities that lead to spiritual perfection. Since the right side of the body symbolizes activity, a lotus in the back right hand conveys the idea that one must perform all duties in the world in accordance with dharma. This leads to moksha (liberation), which is symbolized by a lotus in the back left hand of Lakshmi. The golden coins falling on the ground from the front left hand of Lakshmi illustrate that She provides wealth and prosperity to Her devotees. Her front right hand is shown bestowing blessings upon the devotees. The two elephants standing next to the Goddess symbolize the name and fame associated with worldly wealth. The idea conveyed here is that a true devotee should not earn wealth merely to acquire name and fame or only to satisfy his own material desires, but should share it with others in order to bring happiness to others in addition to himself. Some pictures show four elephants spraying water from golden vessels onto Goddess Lakshmi. The four elephants represent the four ends of human life as discussed above. The spraying of water denotes activity. The golden vessels denote wisdom and purity. The four elephants spraying water from the golden vessels on the Goddess illustrate the theme that continuous self-effort, in accordance with one's dharma and governed by wisdom and purity, leads to both material and spiritual prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi is regularly worshiped in home shrines and temples by Her devotees. A special worship is offered to Her annually on the auspicious day of Diwali, with religious rituals and colorful ceremonies specifically devoted to Her. " From:[...] This one differs only in that the coins are not shown falling, but the gesture conveys it. The other hand in front has the position to symbolize lack of fear or comfort. She carries the new lotus and the fully blossomed symbolic lotus. This is all correct. There are not elephants in this depiction, but one could put small elephant figures near her. All in all if you cannot afford an expensive brass or carved statue this one is very nice and looks very pretty.
