Product description: Matangi is one of the ten tantric goddesses in Hinduism called Dasa Mahavidyas (Ten great wisdoms), a group of powerful and revered deities. Matangi is the goddess of inner wisdom, and associated with music and learning, and mastery over other art forms. As one of the Mahavidyas, Mathangi represents the power of transformation and the breaking of conventional boundaries to attain higher wisdom. The bronze statue depicts Matangi seated in laitasana pose with 8 arms. Each arm holds a divine object including a goad, pasha (noose), a lotus, a sugarcane, two parrots, and her front hand holds a veena (musical instrument) which shows her association with Goddess Saraswati.
