This statuette depicts Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, sitting on a lotus. The name "Lakshmi" in Sanskrit is derived from the root words "lakṣ" (to perceive, observe, know, understand) and "lakṣa" (goal). These meanings symbolize the importance of understanding and knowing your purpose.
Lakshmi's four arms represent the four goals of humanity in Hinduism:
Dharma, the pursuit of an ethical and moral life
Arta, the pursuit of wealth and means of life
Kama, the pursuit of love and emotional fulfillment
Moksha, the pursuit of self-knowledge and liberation
