This striking piece showcases the Hindu Goddess of Power and Energy seated in Lalitasana, the pose of royal ease, symbolizing her control over the physical and spiritual realms. Fashioned from solid Indian black granite, Shakti Mariamann emanates an aura of fierceness and beauty, holding a skull cup and trident in her front hands, symbolizing the severance of ego and illusion. Her right foot gracefully rests on a lotus, signifying purity and divine birth. In her rear hands, she holds a drum ensnared by a coiled snake, symbolizing rhythm of life and kundalini awakening, and a noose, denoting attachment and desire. A fiery halo above her head underscores her protective and transformative powers. Two small holes on either side of her neck allow for garland addition, enhancing the aesthetic of the statue. This outdoor sculpture is not only a powerful spiritual symbol but also a testament to artistic brilliance.

The Shakta tradition glorifies Devi, the consort of Shiva, as the World Mother who, as Shakti, is the energy giving power behind all creation. Shakti is shown in many forms. As Uma or Parvati, she is the gentle consort of Shiva. As Kamakshi or Rajarajeshwari she is the Great Mother. In the form of Durga she rides a tiger, the ego and arrogance that man must subdue. In her angry form she is Kali. In her sensual form she is Bogashakti. Bogashakti is the form that Parvati takes before going into the inner sanctum of a temple with her husband, Shiva. "Boga" meaning pleasure and "Shakti" meaning energy; this form embodies Devi's sexual energy.
The earliest term applied to the divine feminine, which still retains its popular usage, is Shakti. The word Shakti is used in a variety of ways ranging from its use as a way to illustrate the ultimate primordial creative power, to expressing the capacity or power of words to convey meaning. The word 'Shakti' is derived from the root 'shak,' meaning potency or the potential to produce, an assertion of Her inherent creative aptitude.
All interpretations of the word 'Shakti' hold common one parameter, Power. Specifically, Shakti means Power, Force and Feminine Energy. She represents the fundamental creative instinct underlying the cosmos, and is the energizing force of all divinity, of every being and every thing. Devotees believe the whole universe to be a manifestation of Shakti, who is also known by her general name Devi, from the Sanskrit root 'div' which means to shine.
