Product description: Among the many revered deities in Hinduism, there are three goddesses that stand out prominently in the Hindu pantheon; they are Meenakshi, Kamakshi, and Vishalakshi. The three goddesses represent the multifaceted nature of the divine feminine in Hinduism. They embody the qualities of strength, compassion, wisdom, and the power to fulfill the desires of their devotees.
The wood panel depicts Meenakshi in her typical standing pose on a lotus, adorned with layers of beautiful jewelries, right hand holds a lotus, a symbol of purity, and a parrot sitting on her right shoulder, a bird associated with love and devotion in Hindu mythology.
Kamakshi is depicted seated on a throne in padmasana pose. She has four hands, each holding an object that is typical of Kamakshi Amman. Her rear hands holds a goad, and a noose. Her front right hand holds a bunch of flowered arrows, and left hand holds a sugarcane bow. The parrot sitting on her symbolizes love and fertility. She is adorned with layers of beautiful jewelries, a tall decorated crown, and the folds and layers of her clothing are expertly rendered creating a lifelike texture. The crescent moon on her head is a symbol of divine energy that governs the cosmos, and the Yoni placed at the bottom represents women’s womb, and yoni worship is very commonly practiced in Kamakshi worship.
Visalakshi is depicted standing tall and graceful on a lotus, and the goddess emanates an aura of divine beauty. The front hands holds the rosary (stringed beads of rudraksh), and a holy water pot symbolizing her devotion to Lord Shiva. The lingam, and Ganesh on the lotus is a symbolic representation of Shiva and Ganesh present in the main sanctum with Visalakshi being the primary deity at Kasi Visalakshi temple. The face of all the three goddesses has a serene countenance with a gentle smile that conveys both divinity and compassion. Certainly a beautiful wood carving that captures the essence and grace of the iconic Hindu goddesses. Great attention to details has been given throughout the panel that best explains a fine workmanship by our team of artists. Wall hanging hardware is attached to the panel.
