Description

Big size 18 inch tall Laxmi Narayan statue presented is made of premium quality paper mache. Lakshmi Narayana or Lakshmi Narayan is the dual representation of the Hindu deities Vishnu, also known as Narayana, and his consort, Lakshmi, traditionally featured in their abode, Vaikuntha. Lakshmi and Narayana are often offered epithets stemming from their relationship – Vishnu is hailed as Lakshmipati, the husband of Lakshmi, while Lakshmi is called Vishnupriya, the favourite of Vishnu, as well as Vaishnavi and Narayani, the greatest female devotee of Vishnu. The uniqueness of Lord Lakshmi Narayana lies in the fact that this divine pair remains as a single, inseparable entity. Goddess Lakshmi can stay next to a standing Lord Narayana, or be at his service in their heavenly abode of Vaikunta, when the Lord is reclining on the couch of the cosmic serpent Adisesha, in the midst of the ocean of milk, but her principal abode remains the very heart of the Lord himself. This is the reason, the Lord is also known as Shrinivasa – Shri Nivasa – that is, Nivasa, the place of residence of Shri, Goddess Lakshmi. Thus, the term ‘Lakshmi Narayana’ denotes the single divinity of Narayana with Lakshmi and also, Lakshmi’s Narayana.
