Hand-Painted Wall Frame Set of 8 – Ashtalakshmi (8 Forms of Lakshmi)

Lakshmi is rarely worshipped as a single, uniform idea of wealth. Ashtalakshmi divides her into eight distinct forms, each governing a different kind of abundance — Adi Lakshmi as the primal mother goddess, Dhana Lakshmi for material wealth, Dhanya Lakshmi for grain and harvest, Gaja Lakshmi for power and strength, Santana Lakshmi for children and progeny, Veera Lakshmi for courage, Vijaya Lakshmi for victory, and Aishwarya Lakshmi for comfort and luxury. This set brings all eight together as individually framed pieces, meant to be hung as a complete collection.

Each of the eight frames is set within its own ornate gold Prabhavali arch, flanked by carved peacock pillars against a deep green niche — the same form traditionally placed behind an idol in South Indian temples to represent its radiance. Gaja Lakshmi is immediately recognisable, flanked by two white elephants in blessing; Santana Lakshmi is shown with a child seated on her lap, marking her as the goddess of progeny. Every figure across the set is hand-painted with its own individual palette and attributes, rather than a single form repeated eight times with colour swaps.

Each frame measures 28.5 cm in height, 23.5 cm in width, and 3 cm in depth, with a raised cut-out figure measuring 7 inches in height and 5.5 inches in width. Hung together, the full set makes a substantial devotional wall, well suited to a large puja room or a dedicated feature wall.

For NRI households, this is a way to bring the complete Ashtalakshmi tradition into a home abroad in one considered purchase, rather than piecing it together over time. It's a significant gift for a housewarming, a new business, or any occasion calling for a comprehensive blessing of prosperity in all its forms.

Dimensions: Each frame: Height 28.5 cm, Width 23.5 cm, Depth 3 cm. Cut-out figure: 7 inches height, 5.5 inches width
