52" Large Size Deep Lakshmi in Brass | Handmade

A Deepalakshmi statue is an element of the grand, traditional Indian home. She is the very picture of warmth and sweet welcome. The Deepalakshmi statue that you see on this page holds a dia in her beautiful, fine-boned hands. It is a shallow-bottomed lamp, which when filled with ghee and lit up, would add a world of meaning to the welcome.

The word ‘Deepalakshmi’ is a portmanteau of ‘deepa’, which means the light of the dia or the traditional Indian lamp, and ‘Lakshmi’, the Hindu goddess of prosperity. This Deepa Lakshmi brass statue is a tall, gorgeous figure, the feminine form in the irresistible fulness of youth. Fertile torso, supple thighs.

The smooth golden colour of pure brass adds to the glamour of the mukhamandala of Deepalakshmi. Serenity and introspection writ large on a remarkably innocent face. Framed by karnakundalas (danglers) grazing those shapely clavicles. The parrots perched on Her shoulders are an essential aspect of the Deepalakshmi iconography.
