Amongst the many forms of wealth, a human being can possess, the gift of progeny or Santan, in Hindu tradition, is one of the foremost. A manifestation of divine motherhood and fertility, goddess Lakshmi in this wooden statue has taken her Roopa as Santan-Lakshmi, who bestows the boon of virtuous and healthy progeny on those who evoke this roopa. Enthroned on a beautiful lotus throne, goddess Lakshmi has all the physical markers of a woman who has approached motherhood. She holds a weapon to protect the child on her lap and two pots of plenty or Purnaghata as ancient symbols of fecundity. Carved exquisitely and infused with the richness of colors, this wooden statue of Santan Lakshmi is a blessing for those seeking her abundant powers.
