Description
It is a powerful wealth, prosperity and abundance symbol, which is an idol of Lord Kuber Ji made in Asthdhatu (a holy mixture of eight sacred metals). Being the god of riches and fortune and being revered as the treasurer of the gods (Yaksha Raja) and the protector of the North direction, Lord Kuber is worshipped as the god of fortune and wealth.
The idol depicts Kuber Ji in an elegant seated position with divine charisma and power. His strong but still composed face brings forth confidence and positivity. He holds a mace (gada) in one hand, which means protection and control of the wealth, and the other hand is Abhaya Mudra, giving the devotees blessings of wealth, security and spiritual development. His fat body appearance, with expensive jewellery and clothes, symbolises plenty and completeness of life.
A treasure pot (Nidhi Kalash) is lying next to him, which represents endless prosperity and riches. The carved crown, holy garments, and superb decorations illustrate the work of the talented craftsmen. The halo of divinity in the background of his head also points out his divine presence as the heavenly treasurer of the universe.
It is said that by worshipping this Asthdhatu Kuber idol, the person will be able to achieve financial growth, stable business, and eliminate such hindrances as debt and poverty. It does not merely welcome material luck but also adds some spiritual blessings to life.
The idol is particularly fortunate in Diwali, Dhanteras, and Akshaya Tritiya, so it can be placed in any of the puja rooms, office, shop, or cash box. It is also an ideal housewarming, business start-up and party gift.
This, 3.3 inches high, 2.3 inches wide, and weighing about 122 gm, is not merely an art object, but a divine manifestation of prosperity, good luck, and gods.
