Description
Invite the goddess of abundance, nourishment, and sacred sustenance into your home with this uniquely beautiful handcrafted Brass Annapurna Devi Idol, standing 2.5" tall. Cast in solid brass with a warm bright gold finish, this devotional piece is remarkable in its dual function: it is simultaneously a sacred murti of Goddess Annapurna and a functional oil lamp (diya), with each of the Goddess’s two hands forming a deep, wide oil cup ready to hold a wick and ghee or oil for flame.
Goddess Annapurna is one of the most beloved and benevolent forms of Goddess Parvati — the divine mother of all nourishment, the giver of food (anna) and fullness (purna), and the eternal provider who ensures that no devotee ever goes without sustenance. She is the presiding deity of the kitchen and the home, revered across India as the source of all abundance. Lord Shiva himself is said to have begged food from Annapurna, acknowledging that the material world and all its nourishment flow from her grace. Her worship is considered essential for prosperity, domestic harmony, and the blessing of a home filled with food, warmth, and abundance.
The murti depicts Goddess Annapurna seated in padmasana (lotus posture) upon a circular lotus base with fine petal engravings. Her form is full and generous, draped in finely pleated garments with a decorated waistband and layered ornaments. She wears large circular earrings (kundala), a multi-strand necklace, and armlets, and her brow bears a clear tilaka. Her tall conical mukut (crown) with spiral detailing and a pointed apex — the classic shikara crown form associated with goddesses in South and Central Indian temple iconography — rises prominently above her serene, slightly smiling face with closed, meditative eyes.
Her two hands each hold a diya cup — wide, shallow oil lamp bowls extended outward at either side — making this piece a living altar lamp as well as a sacred deity. Light both wicks during puja or aarti to invoke the Goddess’s presence with fire, fragrance, and devotion.
