Description
Invoke the boundless energies of royal prosperity, stability, and spiritual fulfillment with this premium, hand-painted Gaja Lakshmi Tanjore Painting, as beautifully displayed. This complex composition captures the Goddess of Wealth seated in a serene meditative posture atop an elaborate golden throne platform (Simhasana). She raises her hands in the Abhaya Mudra (blessing posture) while holding delicate pink lotus buds. Symmetrically flanking her are two celestial sky-blue elephants draped in traditional pink and gold textiles, lifting their trunks high in a gesture of holy salutation and continuous cleansing.
The extraordinary depth of this piece is defined by its massive, intense 3D gesso relief work. The sweeping, multi-tiered temple archway border at the top, the massive towering crown (Mukut), the entire multi-layered neck chest-plate, and the structural base of the royal throne are physically sculpted to stand out sharply off the canvas. Layered completely in genuine, certified 22-karat gold foil and meticulously studded with alternating rows of ruby-red and emerald-green kundan stones, this artwork casts a warm, golden temple glow across any environment.
