Renowned for its rich colors, dense composition, and high material value, the art form is instantly recognizable by its heavy 3D gesso work embedded with semi-precious stones and meticulously layered with pure 24-karat gold foil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe central panel focuses on the royal courtyard of Lord Srinivasa Perumal (Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati) standing majestically under a heavily embossed golden Prabhavali arch, adorned in thick jewel-laden vestments. Immediately above his shrine canopy are his signature cosmic symbols: the Sudarshana Chakra (discus) and Panchajanya (conch), flanking the sacred Namam emblem. The architectural frame is balanced symmetrically by side vertical columns and corners that enshrine individual niches for the Ashtalakshmi, the eight manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi presiding over different aspects of prosperity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ashta Lakshmi are a group of eight secondary manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth and prosperity. Together, they preside over eight distinct sources of wealth, mapping out both material abundance and spiritual well-being required for a fulfilling human life. The Ashta Lakshmi consist of Adi Lakshmi, who represents eternal spiritual wealth and cosmic origins; Dhana Lakshmi, the provider of material wealth, gold, and financial abundance; Dhanya Lakshmi, who blesses agricultural prosperity, food, and freedom from hunger; Gaja Lakshmi, the giver of power, royalty, and majestic authority flanked by elephants; Santana Lakshmi, who presides over progeny, family well-being, and a healthy lineage; Veera Lakshmi, the bestower of courage, inner strength, and fortitude to face life's battles; Vijaya Lakshmi, who ensures ultimate success, victory, and triumph in all endeavors; and Vidya Lakshmi, the dispenser of intellect, secular knowledge, and creative skills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe base tier anchors this complex theological map with a central shrine alcove featuring a standing Lord Srinivasa Perumal flanked by Sridevi and Bhudevi, accompanied by royal attendants at the thresholds. The entire composition is fixed inside a garbhagriha shaped panel with a vimana above which the brilliant gleam of the heavy three-dimensional gold relief work unifies the entire temple layout, transforming this rare multi-tiered composition into a grand, protective visual window of the cosmic divine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tanjore Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67589031395542,"sku":null,"price":1280000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Srinivasa_Perumal_and_Ashtalakshmi.png?v=1791866237","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/srinivasa-perumal-and-ashtalakshmi-in-tanjore-by-tanjore-art-gallery","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
