The most sacred and
powerful gem obtained in the cosmic churning of the
ocean or Samudra manthana is Sri Lakshmi. Her emergence from the depths of
the ocean is a divine moment captured in this magnificent superfine four-foot
bronze statue. With her posture astutely suggesting movement and stillness at
once, the sculpture appears to have been crafted in memory of Lakshmi’s arrival
at the scene of creation.
Femininity, beauty,
and divinity fused in one, Lakshmi stands poised like the supreme queen of the
Universe, commanding reverence for her unparalleled presence in this
masterpiece of a sculpture.
Evoked as Padmasana or Padmini (she who is enthroned on a lotus or she who is as beautiful as a lotus), goddess Lakshmi is placed on an exquisitely delineated lotus, in a majestic and graceful posture, standing contrapposto- with her weight majorly shifted on one leg.
The Nakh-shikha varnana (description from head to toe) for the great goddess is next to impossible owing to the grandeur each element holds. Her crown adorned with a peacock pair and delicate motifs frames the countenance of the goddess, on which the perfectly curving brows, lotus bud-like eyes, a sharp nose, and lips with a hint of smile mesmerize the onlooker.
Rajyasri or royalty
finds a home in the primordial bestower of luxury and abundance as Makara motif
on the diagonally falling waist ornament and peacock or Mayura motifs- both
symbols of regalia and beauty in ancient Indian culture. The ornaments that embrace Lakshmi- floral
vines and blossoms and bejeweled pieces, signify her status as the provider of
the fertility of the earth and abundance of treasures respectively.
The solidity of the
metal in which the sculpture is conceived is betrayed by the diaphanous, the
almost wet appearance of the garments of the goddess. The stylistically falling
scarf, rightward swaying waistcloth, and silken folds of the dhoti (lower body
garment) enhance the realistic appeal of the artwork fourfold.
The reverse of the
sculpture maintains meticulous beauty, with the Siraschakra (circular head
ornament), the tresses of Devi Lakshmi, and waves in her dhoti speaking for the
skills of Tamil craftsman, whose hands and mind are the Vahana (mount) through
which divinity descended on the earth.
