This kavadi wall panel is handcrafted by the wood artisans in South India. The kavadi pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this!
A kavadi is a wall hanging that is shaped like an entrance to a South Indian temple. These entrances are called gopurams and are known for their rich artistry and bright colors. This kavadi depicts Lakshmi seated on a double lotus base holding two lotus flowers. At the base of the kavadi are two peacocks. To the left and right of Lakshmi are two yalis. Yalis are mythical beasts that are a combination of many animals. Above Lakshmi is Mahakala, a demon known as "great time" or the devourer of time. There is a hook in the back of the wall panel so that it can be hung on a wall.
The painting scheme is adopted from the bright colors used in gopurams. The gopurams are painted in vibrant colors which mirror the vibrant life of south India.

"Beautiful goddess seated on a chariot, delighted by songs on lustful elephants, bedecked with lotuses, pearls and gems, lustrous as fire, radiant as gold, resplendent as the sun, calm as the moon, mistress of cows and horses - take away poverty and misfortune bring joy, riches, harvest and children."
Draped in red saree, bedecked with gold ornaments, seated on a lotus, pot in hand, flanked by white elephants, the image of Lakshmi adorns most Hindu homes and business establishments.
Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, luxury, beauty, fertility, and auspiciousness. She holds the promise of material fulfillment and contentment. She is described as restless, whimsical yet maternal, with her arms raised to bless and to grant her blessings.
Shri is the sacred name of Lakshmi. Shri is written atop most documents and spoken before addressing a god, teacher holy man or any revered individual. The word evokes grace, affluence abundance, auspiciousness and authority. When the word is spoken or written an aura of holiness is established. Whatever follows is imbued with divine blessing. Just as the word "Om" is associated with the mystical side of life, Shri is associated with the material side of existence.
Lakshmi represents the beautiful and bountiful aspect of nature. As Bhoodevi, the earth-goddess, she nurtures life; as Shreedevi, the goddess of fortune, she bestows power, pleasure and prosperity on those who deserve her grace. To realize her, one must respect the laws of life and appreciate the wonders of existence.
