It is created from a copper body and 24K gold gilding, and gold and acrylic paintings. Perfect for home altars, puja rooms, or as a thoughtful spiritual gift, this statue reflects traditional artistry and devotional craftsmanship from the heart of Nepal. Handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Lakshmi is depicted seated on a fully bloomed lotus, symbolizing purity, beauty, and spiritual power. The lotus also signifies that true prosperity can flourish even in challenging circumstances. She typically has four arms, each representing one of the four goals of human life in Hindu philosophy: dharma (righteousness), artha (wealth), kama (desires), and moksha (liberation). Her left hand is in abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness), and her right hand is in varada mudra (gesture of granting boons), indicating protection and generosity. The crown in Hindu iconography, as seen in the statue, symbolizes authority, divinity, and royalty. It is an elaborate headpiece reflecting deities' power and sovereign nature, marking them as figures of supreme status and spiritual significance. The crown also represents beauty and ceremonial grandeur, distinguishing the wearer as possessing worldly and divine authority.

Lakshmi is recognized as an important deity, often associated with abundance, wealth, and fortune. She is especially significant in the Gelug school, where she appears peaceful and wrathful. The peaceful form is commonly known as Shri Lakshmi (Pal Lhamo). At the same time, her wrathful aspect is called Palden Lhamo (Shri Devi Dudsol Dokam or Kamadhatvishvari), who is revered as the principal female protector of Tibetan Buddhism and the city of Lhasa.
