Varahi- the she-boar-faced goddess, is an awe-inspiring and powerful Matrika (mother-goddess), revered in Hinduism as the Shakti of Vishnu’s Varaha Roopa and one of the Saptamatrikas (seven mother goddesses) who assist goddess Durga in her battles against Asuras. In this majestic bronze statue from Swamimalai, the goddess Varahi radiates the aura of Sri, the consort of Vishnu. Glistening divinely, Devi Varahi is wrapped in a lovely saree, wearing a Vaishnava crown known as Kirtiamukuta, bejeweled necklaces, and armlets, and sits in the regal Lalitasana.

A small bindi adorns her forehead, beautifying the alluring countenance of the goddess. In her four hands, Devi Varahi holds Hala (plough) and Musala (mortar) which are her weapons, while her primary hands are in the gesture of Varada and Abhaya, mirroring the graceful mudras of goddess Lakshmi. To mark the aura of the mighty mother goddess, a grand aureole with Kirtimukha or a face of glory on top has been added to the murti.

Revered separately or as a part of Vishnu or Devi Durga’s retinue, Maa Varahi is a powerful protective force, whose dhyana and Puja fill one’s life with positivity, strength, and supreme wisdom.

Embrace Divine Strength with the Goddess Varahi Statue

This magnificent bronze statue depicts Goddess Varahi, a powerful and revered form of the Divine Mother in Hinduism. As one of the Matrikas, or mother goddesses, Varahi is associated with immense strength, protection, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Her fierce yet benevolent countenance is captured in this exquisite creation, meticulously crafted using the ancient Madhuchista Vidhana (lost-wax) technique. The Panchaloha bronze, an alloy of five metals, lends a unique luster and durability to this divine representation, making it a timeless addition to any sacred space or art collection.

Mythological Significance and Symbolism

Goddess Varahi is believed to be a potent aspect of Adi Shakti, embodying the destructive power that eradicates evil and ignorance. In Hindu mythology, she is often depicted with a boar's face, symbolizing her fierce determination and her ability to unearth hidden truths. The boar, as an animal, represents unwavering resolve and the power to plow through difficulties. Varahi is invoked for protection against enemies, for success in endeavors, and for the removal of negative influences. She is also associated with fertility and nourishment, nurturing her devotees with her divine grace. Her iconography often includes weapons like a mace, discus, or a pestle, signifying her prowess in battle against demonic forces. In this particular depiction, her seated posture on a lotus base denotes purity and spiritual elevation, while the intricate details of her attire and adornments speak to her royal and divine status. The arch behind her, adorned with elaborate carvings, further enhances the sense of her celestial presence and grandeur.

Artistry and Craftsmanship

This statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of South Indian bronze casting, originating from the renowned artistic traditions of Swamimalai. The Madhuchista Vidhana, or lost-wax casting, is an intricate and labor-intensive process that has been passed down through generations. It involves creating a wax model of the sculpture, which is then encased in a clay mold. The mold is heated, melting the wax, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity left behind. Once cooled, the clay mold is broken, revealing a detailed and seamless bronze casting. This method allows for exceptional finesse and the capture of even the most delicate details, as seen in the delicate jewelry, the folds of the garment, and the facial features of the Goddess. The use of Panchaloha bronze further elevates the spiritual and aesthetic value of the artwork, as this sacred alloy is believed to possess auspicious properties. The artist's skill is evident in the dynamic pose and the serene yet powerful expression of the Goddess, making this a truly captivating piece of devotional art.
