According to a folktale from the Indian states of Gujrat and Rajasthan, Khodiyar Mata was the daughter of the snake realm's king, the Naga, who assumed the form of a human named Janabai to fulfill Mamaniya Gadhvi's longing for progeny. When one of her siblings during her time on Earth was bitten by a venomous snake, Khodiyar Mata (then Janbai) traveled to the Naglok to bring Amrita, a drink with life-giving properties in Hindu mythology.

Janbai suffered injuries to her legs during her journey, which caused her to walk with a limp. As a result of her selfless deed, Janbai was given the name Khodiyar Mata (khodi meaning limp). In this brass statue, Khodiyar Mata is presented with her crocodile mount, holding a trident, dressed in the traditional attire of Gujarat and Rajasthan, with her hand in the gesture of fearlessness.

Embrace Divine Protection: The Brass Khodiyar Mata Statue

This exquisite brass statue depicts Khodiyar Mata, a revered goddess in Hindu mythology, embodying strength, protection, and the power of nature. Crafted with meticulous detail, this representation showcases the goddess seated majestically upon her vahana, the crocodile, a symbol of her command over primal forces and her ability to navigate treacherous waters, both literal and metaphorical. The golden sheen of the brass lends an aura of timeless grace and spiritual significance to this divine image. Khodiyar Mata is particularly worshipped in the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Legends speak of her immense power and compassion, often invoked by devotees seeking blessings for prosperity, well-being, and protection from evil. Her association with the crocodile is profound. In many tales, the crocodile is not merely a mount but a manifestation of her control over fearsome creatures and challenging environments. It signifies her ability to conquer obstacles and safeguard her followers from any adversity. This imagery reinforces her role as a fierce protector who can tame the wildest of dangers.

A Testament to Craftsmanship and Devotion

The artistry of this statue is evident in every curve and contour. The goddess is portrayed with serene yet determined features, her right hand raised in a gesture of blessing or abhaya mudra, assuring devotees of her protection. In her left hand, she holds a trident (trishul), a potent weapon symbolizing the three aspects of existence: creation, preservation, and destruction, and her power to overcome negativity. The intricate detailing on her attire, from the delicate patterns adorning her skirt to the layered necklaces, speaks of the skill of the artisan and the rich cultural heritage it represents. This statue is more than just a decorative piece; it is an artifact imbued with spiritual energy. It serves as a focal point for prayer and meditation, inviting the divine presence of Khodiyar Mata into your home or sacred space. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on altars, shelves, or even a desk, allowing you to carry her protective blessings with you throughout the day. Each statue is a unique creation, reflecting a tradition passed down through generations, connecting the modern devotee to the ancient wisdom and power of the Goddess.

Invoking Blessings and Harmony

Bringing this Khodiyar Mata statue into your life is an act of devotion that resonates with the core of Hindu spiritual practices. The brass material itself is considered auspicious, believed to amplify positive energies and purify the surroundings. The presence of the goddess is thought to ward off negative influences, bring peace to the household, and bestow good fortune upon her worshippers. Whether you are a devout follower of Khodiyar Mata or simply appreciate the profound symbolism and artistic beauty of Indian deities, this statue offers a tangible connection to the divine feminine power. It is a piece that not only enhances your spiritual practice but also adds a touch of sacred elegance to your living space, a constant reminder of the goddess's unwavering vigilance and loving protection.
