DESCRIPTION

Gajalakshmi, which translates as "Lakshmi with elephants," is one of the most important Ashtalakshmi aspects of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. In this aspect, the goddess is seated on a lotus, surrounded on both sides by an elephant (gaja). She is depicted with four arms, seated in the yogic posture of Padmasana. She holds a lotus in each of her upper arms, while her lower hands are usually represented in abhaya and varada mudra. The elephants flanking her are seen "lustrating" (ceremoniously bathing) her, pouring water from their trunks over the goddess. This facet, like most other aspects of Lakshmi, represents prosperity, good fortune, and abundance, and the Gajalakshmi motifs are highly common in Hindu and Buddhist imagery.
