Antique Carved Polished Sitting Annapurna Mata

Annapurna (Sanskrit, Nepali, Newar: ??????????) is a Sanskrit name (fem.) that literally means “(She who is) Replete with food”, but is normally translated as Goddess of the Harvests. According to Devdutt Pattanaik, Annapoorna devi is “… the universal and timeless kitchen-goddess … the mother who feeds. Without her there is starvation, a universal fear: This makes Annapurna a universal goddess … Her most popular shrine is located in Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges River.” Her association with the giving of food (wealth) led her in time to be transformed into Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth.Decorative Brass statue of Annapurna devi By Bharathaat.Disclaimer: Due to various types of lightings and flash used while photoshoot,the color shade of the product may vary.
