With her home situated in the lap of the Himalayas, Parvati in Nepal is a beloved Hindu deity, revered as the supreme female principle- Prakriti, from whom emerges the entire Universe. She is the pinnacle of auspiciousness, beauty, strength, and fortune. In this copper statute, the heavenly aura of Parvati and her presence in Nepalese culture has been perfectly captured. The goddess stands on a lovely Padmasana or lotus pedestal, which represents the Universe. A stunning dynamism flows from the statue, from the swaying folds of Parvati’s saree, the flow of her upper body garment, and the interactive gesture of her left hand.

Goddess Parvati is adorned with a traditional Nepalese crown, flower-shaped earrings, and beautiful jewelry and similar to her bronze icons of Southern India, carries a flower in her hand. However, with her distinctively Nepalese features and expressions similar to Green Tara statues, this icon of Parvati represents a unique and parallel iconography to the more popular Swamimalai bronzes of Uma-Parvati, making it a one-of-a-kind artwork.

The Embodiment of Grace and Power

This exquisite copper statue, originating from the skilled artisans of Nepal, captures the essence of Parvati, the Hindu goddess of love, devotion, and power. More than just a decorative piece, this artifact is a tangible representation of one of the most revered and multifaceted deities in the Hindu pantheon. Her very name, Parvati, signifies "daughter of the mountains," a testament to her birth as the daughter of Himavan, the king of the Himalayas, and his consort, Mena. The statue portrays Parvati in a dynamic, dancing pose. One arm is extended in a graceful gesture of offering or blessing, while the other delicately holds a lotus. This dance is not merely an aesthetic expression; it represents the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction that is central to Hindu philosophy. The lotus held in her hand symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and regeneration, further emphasizing her divine qualities.

The Goddess of a Thousand Forms

Parvati is not a static figure. She is known and loved in myriad forms, each reflecting a different facet of her personality and power. As Uma, she embodies beauty and gentleness; as Gauri, she represents purity and radiance. In her fierce forms, such as Durga and Kali, she is a formidable warrior, a destroyer of evil, and a protector of the righteous. This statue seems to capture Parvati in a form that lies somewhere between Uma and Gauri, a balance of beauty, serenity, and inner strength. The intricate details of her attire, from the delicately crafted jewelry adorning her neck and arms to the flowing lines of her garments, speak to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this devotional object. The statue's creation in copper connects to a rich tradition. Copper has long been considered a sacred metal in many cultures, including those within Nepal. It is believed to possess purifying properties and is often used in the creation of religious icons and ritual objects. The warm, earthy tones of the copper further enhance the statue's visual appeal, lending it a timeless elegance. Bring home this work of art from the Himalayas to adorn your alter, meditation space, or any special place where you seek to connect with the divine feminine.
