Description
Being a beautiful piece of Asthdhatu (divine combination of eight sacred metals), which is one of the most common metals used in sculptures, this sacred idol set of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha is the ideal blend of prosperity, wisdom, and good omen. People in the Hindu culture find it very advantageous to worship both Lakshmi and Ganesha simultaneously, where Maa Lakshmi can bring in fortune and prosperity, whilst Lord Ganesha can eliminate any hindrances and bring wisdom to the table, hence guaranteeing prosperity both material and spiritual.
Maa Lakshm, on the left-hand side, is presented sitting comfortably on a throne with lotus flowers in her hands. Her serene expression is a sign of compassion and divine grace, whereas the lotus is a symbol of purity, growth and spiritual energy. She pours blessings of peace, wealth and achievement on her followers.
To the right is Lord Ganesha in a relaxed position and is depicted to hold his symbolic elements: the modak (sweet) to be fulfilled, axe to cut attachments, lotus to enlightenment and goad to ensure that the devotees take the right direction. His kind look and huge ears mark the careful and wise attitude, so he is the one who breaks barriers and brings happiness.
The crowns, decorations, and dress of both idols are designed with detailed carvings, and they are reflective of good workmanship and artistry. The Asthdhatu composition gives them spiritual energy and makes them durable, and vibrates with the divinity of protection and prosperity.
It is believed that it is particularly auspicious to install this Lakshmi-Ganesh idol set in your home, office, shop, or even in your temple during Diwali, Dhanteras, housewarmings and when starting a new business venture. They are complementary to each other – Maa Lakshmi is a bringer of luck, and Lord Ganesha is a bringer of knowledge and prosperity.
This idol measures 2 inches in height, 3 inches in width and approximately 71gm in weight, and is a perfect combination of artistry, devotion and divine blessings.
