About this piece
Description
In Kashi, Annapurna Devi is honoured as the goddess who feeds the city, and this 8.5-inch Panchaloha bronze idol portrays her as Annapoorani Mata in a golden finish. It measures 21 x 14 x 9 cm and weighs 1.75 kg, a size that suits the main place in a home temple, puja room or dining area.
The idol is handcrafted by South Indian artisans in the Chola style and cast in Panchaloha, the traditional five-metal bronze alloy used for temple icons. It is a newly made piece, not an antique.
Annapurna Devi, also worshipped as Annapurna Parvati, Annapurna Bhagwati and Annapurna Ammavaru, is a form of Goddess Parvati and the Hindu goddess of food and nourishment. In the well-known Kashi legend, Lord Shiva receives alms of food from her, a story that underlines her role as the sustainer of all beings.
