The Mythology of Gajalakshmi

Gajalakshmi, the elephant-goddess of wealth and fortune, is a beloved figure in Hindu iconography. She is depicted seated on a lotus, flanked by two elephants who bathe her with water from golden vessels. These elephants represent the celestial rivers of Ganga and Yamuna, symbolizing purity and abundance. The lotus, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, underscores the sacredness of the goddess.

Stories of Gajalakshmi often feature her bestowing boons and blessings upon devotees, representing the power of divine grace. This painting perfectly captures the grace, beauty, and significance of this powerful goddess.
