The Divine Beauty: Ashta Lakshmi in Mysore art by Raghavendra B. B

This captivating circular composition in the Mysore painting tradition by artist Raghavendra B.B. presents Ashta Lakshmi, the eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi. Mysore painting is a traditional South Indian art form known for its intricate detailing, delicate lines, and rich use of gold leaf to depict divine and royal themes with elegance and devotion. At the center of this composition is a seated figure of Maha Lakshmi.

She is flanked by two elephants, also giving her the name of Gaja Lakshmi. Portrayed in the classic red, gold and pink palette, the painting exhibits the elegance, intricacy, and devotional depth, which are all characteristics of Mysore school art. Each goddess is positioned on a blooming lotus seat, a symbol of purity and transcendence, and surrounded by precise ornamentation in gold leaf—a hallmark of Mysore style. The eight forms surrounding the central figure are Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi; each with their unique divine attributes. The celestial guardians - gandharvas, are depicted flanking the Lakshmi figure at the top. The rich maroon backdrop with gold and black double border draws the viewer to feel the divine presence.

Executed with meticulous precision and skill, this work is a testament to the devotion and mastery of the artist, demonstrating the artistic cultural legacy of the Mysore artists.
