Decorative Statue of the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi, Four-Armed, Bronze Patina, Height 50 cm

Detailed Description and Symbolism of Goddess Lakshmi

This statue captures the Goddess Lakshmi in an upright, dignified pose. She is dressed in a traditional sari in deep red and turquoise-blue colours, while all jewellery, the crown, and ornamental details are highlighted with warm gold colour and a dark bronze patina. The statue stands on a richly decorated lotus pedestal, and at her feet lies a bowl filled with gold coins, symbolizing her role as the giver of wealth.

Pose and Attributes of the Goddess

As a four-armed goddess, Lakshmi represents the four goals of human life: Dharma (righteousness), Kama (desire), Artha (wealth), and Moksha (liberation). Her hands hold key symbols:

• Two upper hands hold lotus flowers (Padma), which symbolize purity, beauty, and spiritual enlightenment, regardless of impure surroundings.
• One lower hand holds the pot of abundance (Kalash), which is filled with the elixir of life (Amrita) and represents unending wealth.
• The fourth hand is slightly lowered and open, in a gesture of granting boons and blessing.

When and How to Use the Statue

Statues of Hindu deities like Lakshmi are traditionally placed in homes and business premises in areas meant to symbolize abundance and orientation towards wealth (e.g., the Southeast sector according to Vastu Shastra). The statue is designed as a decorative object and is an ideal accessory for:

• Yoga studios or meditation corners, where it promotes a feeling of calm and spirituality.
• Living spaces with Indian, Boho, or Ethnic styles.
• Offices and retail spaces, where it symbolizes a wish for prosperity and good business.

The statue is made from Polyresin, a special sculptor's resin that allows for the creation of incredibly detailed and realistic forms, which are then hand-painted to achieve the authentic look of a bronze patina. The underside of the statue is equipped with anti-scratch protection, which safeguards your furniture from damage.

Maintenance and Care for Your Statue

To ensure the longevity and preservation of your statue's beauty, please follow these guidelines:

• Wipe the statue only with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to avoid removing the hand-applied paint and patina.
• Do not use aggressive chemical cleaning agents.
• The statue is not suitable for outdoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sun, frost, or moisture would damage the colours and the material.
• Protect it from falling; while polyresin is durable, it can be damaged by a strong impact.
