Description

This ornately iconic image therefore pays a wonderful homage to that powerful manifestation of the goddess. Presenting the iconography as detailed in texts like the Annada Mangal and Annapurna Sahasranam, we see Annapurna in her two-handed form, presenting a vessel filled with food and a ladle meant to serve it. Her sincere and care-giving form is seated in the ‘padmasana’ on a raised pedestal, and ornately bejewelled. The sculpture is surrounded by a delightfully aesthetic arch topped with a ‘kirtimukha.’ Her sacred and everyday presence in our often-mundane lives can truly be a blessing, and that in itself makes this image a wonderful acquisition – especially for the coming Akshaya Tritiya.
