Goddess Lakshmi Painting

One of its kind artwork, Lakshmi, thy name represents the goddess as manifesting abundance, fertility and accomplishment – her main attributes in scriptures.  Richly bejeweled in heavy gold ornaments embedded with precious gems carrying in one hand a pot of gold believed to be filled with riches, and holding in the other a rich treasure as ornaments, the goddess is abundance incarnate. From the sacred pot in her left hand – symbolic of the earth, there shower the grains, the fertility defined, and the lotus she rises along as also the pot itself stand for accomplishment.

Essentially auspicious the goddess has behind her a form of an elephant with a coiled hind part. Auspicious in tradition it is symbolic also of the elephant god Ganesha. The source of all energies, even dormant and concealed lying coiled within, the goddess has behind her in the form of the elephant’s hind part a ‘kundalini’ form – the graphic representation of coiled energies. When kindled this ‘kundalini’ endows the being with immeasurable energies.

The figure of the normal two-armed goddess, rare in lustre and unsurpassed in beauty, has been conceived with an oval roundish face, well fed cheeks, large lampblack-coloured eyes that inspire reverence, broad forehead affording due contrast to ornaments worn around, fine features, trimmed eyebrows, cute small lips, and well defined neck with a choker inlaid with precious stones covering its entire rise and a series of various artistically designed pendants suspending along lying on breast that a garland consisting of large flowers of gold frames. The artist has displayed great ingenuity in representing the background which, otherwise a flat perspective, obtains the effect of three dimensions merely by varying the levels of the colours’ depth that he has used, especially the tones of black, which added, the scarlet zones appear to be moving and with such moves the canvas seems to recede backwards creating dimensional effect.
