Lakshmi with lotuses

This statuette represents Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, seated on a lotus. The name "Lakshmi" in Sanskrit derives from the root words "lakṣ" (to perceive, observe, know, comprehend) and "lakṣa" (goal, end, objective). These meanings symbolize the importance of understanding and knowing one's goal.

Lakshmi's four arms represent the four goals of humanity in Hinduism:

Dharma, the pursuit of an ethical and moral life;
Artha, the pursuit of wealth and livelihood;
Kama, the pursuit of love and emotional satisfaction;
Moksha, the pursuit of self-knowledge and liberation.
