Deities of Prosperity and Protection

Invite the divine presence of Vishnu and Lakshmi into your home with this meticulously crafted copper statue. Standing side-by-side, the divine couple represents the embodiment of prosperity, preservation, and auspiciousness. Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, stands tall, radiating strength and serenity. Lakshmi, his consort, embodies grace, beauty, and the abundance of divine blessings. Together, they are the perfect representation of balance and harmony. This beautiful piece, handcrafted in copper, captures the essence of their divine energy, making it a potent addition to any sacred space.

Symbolism and Significance

This statue is rich with symbolism that is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. Vishnu holds his characteristic attributes; the conch shell (Shankha), representing the sacred sound of creation and triumph over evil, and the mace (gada), a symbol of power and divine punishment. He is often depicted with the Sudarshana Chakra, a spinning, disc-like weapon with 108 serrated edges, which he uses to destroy evil and protect the good. Here, however, his hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of reassurance and blessing. Lakshmi, adorned with divine jewelry, is depicted in a graceful pose, symbolizing her role as the bestower of wealth and good fortune. Her gentle expression reflects her compassionate nature and unwavering devotion to Vishnu.

The Protective Embrace of Sheshnag

Adding another layer of profound symbolism is the presence of Sheshnag, the cosmic serpent, who provides a protective canopy over Vishnu and Lakshmi. Sheshnag, also known as Ananta-Shesha, is the king of all Nagas (serpents) and is said to represent eternity. In Hindu cosmology, Sheshnag serves as the bed upon which Vishnu rests during periods between cosmic creations. The multiple heads of Sheshnag signify his vast knowledge and unwavering protection. The inclusion of Sheshnag in this statue highlights the themes of security, stability, and divine guardianship. This representation beautifully connects to the Puranic tales of the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthana), where Sheshnag was used as the rope to churn the cosmic ocean, leading to the emergence of Lakshmi and other divine treasures. Thus, Sheshnag's presence here is not just protective but also symbolic of the origins of prosperity and abundance.

Craftsmanship and Dimensions

This intricately detailed copper statue measures 6.5 inches in height, 3.5 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in depth. Its size makes it ideal for placement on a home altar, desk, or any space where you wish to invoke the blessings of Vishnu and Lakshmi.
