She maintains a significant role in Nepal's cultural and spiritual life, particularly within the historical setting of the Malla dynasty, which governed the Kathmandu Valley from the 12th to the 18th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSiddhi Lakshmi often appears as a multi-headed, multi-armed goddess, with each arm holding various symbolic weapons, such as swords, tridents, and shields, emphasizing her role as a warrior goddess. The depiction illustrates her ability to confront and withstand malicious forces. Her white color is unique and symbolizes purity and truth, distinguishing her from her often fearsome appearance. This contrast highlights her role as a kind and compassionate protector. She is frequently depicted standing or seated on a lotus, symbolizing divine beauty and purity arising from the darkness of worldly existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSiddhi Lakshmi was the tutelary deity of Nepal's Malla monarchs and was considered their self-chosen goddess (ishtadevata), responsible for legitimizing and protecting their rule. Following the death of King Yaksha Malla, the kingdom was divided into three cities: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, making her worship even more important as a symbol of royal authority and divine protection. She was worshiped in secret rituals by the kings and at public shrines during major festivals, integrating her into the everyday religious life of the people.\u003cbr\u003e-------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\"\/41 cm (width) x 22\"\/56 cm (height)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cotton Canvas, 24K Gold, Acrylic Colors\u003cbr\u003e-------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBROCADE MOUNT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe do traditional brocade mount upon your request.
