About this piece
Description
Annapurneshwari, the goddess of food and nourishment, is traditionally honoured in the pooja room or the kitchen, and this handmade Panchaloha bronze statue is sized for either place. It measures about 6.5 inches (16 x 12 x 6 cm), weighs 900 grams and has a golden finish.
The statue is cast in Panchaloha, the traditional five-metal bronze alloy, and handcrafted in the Chola style of South Indian bronze work. It is a newly made piece, not an antique.
Annapurneshwari, also known as Annapurna Devi and Annapurna Bhagwati, is a form of Goddess Parvati. She is worshipped as the provider who keeps every household fed, and many families offer her the first portion of each day's cooking.

Frequently asked questions
Where should an Annapurna idol be placed according to Vastu?
Vastu shastra places the pooja room in the north-east and the kitchen in the south-east, so families usually keep Annapurna Devi in one of these two spaces. Follow your family's custom if it differs.
How much does this 6.5-inch Annapurneshwari statue weigh?
It weighs 900 grams and measures 16 x 12 x 6 cm, heavy enough to feel substantial in the hand yet easy to move for cleaning.
Is this statue brass or Panchaloha?
It is Panchaloha bronze, the traditional five-metal alloy of South Indian temple icons. It is not brass, which is a simpler copper and zinc alloy.
How do I keep the golden finish looking fresh?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each pooja, and every few weeks polish it with Pitambari powder or tamarind in warm water, then dry it completely.
Does the package include anything besides the idol?
No. The package contains one Panchaloha bronze sculpture only.
