This is the shakti (power) of the Goddess, and among the three modes of material nature, She represents the Rajas Guna i.e. mode of passion. Here, the Great Lakshmi sits atop a double-tier upturned Lotus pedestal in padmasana with four arms. The upper hands hold a lotus flower that blooms regardless of the type of water in which it grows, indicating the beauty of pure consciousness, and the lower hands hold the gestures of the protective Abhay Mudra (right hand) and the boon granting Varada Mudra (left hand). The huge and beautifully engraved crown on Her head justifies Her exalted personality, who provides knowledge of self-realization to the conditioned souls and blesses them with the true wealth i.e. spiritual wealth, and liberates them from illusion. This unmatched sculpture brings about an enlivening transcendental experience of the mercy of Goddess Lakshmi within our hearts.
