Devi is the great goddess of Hindu and Buddhist tradition, the feminine divine in her many forms, embodying abundance, grace, protection, and the flowing of life force through the world. Standing female figures holding water vessels appear throughout the sacred art of South and Southeast Asia, where they are known as Shalabhanjika or yakshi figures, celestial beings associated with fertility, water, and the prosperity of the natural world. This figure draws from that tradition, rendered in the classical Balinese or Javanese style with the serene downcast gaze, elaborate crown, and richly ornamented body characteristic of temple sculpture from the region.

The figure stands upright on a circular lotus base with scrollwork around the rim, her weight distributed evenly, her posture still and composed. Both hands hold a rounded water vessel at her hip, the front of which is carved with a starburst or sun-ray medallion surrounding a central opening that functions as the fountain spout. A hose connection at the back of the vessel allows water to flow through the pot and out through the carved opening, making this a working garden fountain as well as a devotional sculpture. Her clothing is carved with exceptional density: the lower dhoti is covered in interlocking floral and geometric patterns, scrolling vine borders, and layered relief bands that run from hip to ankle. A beaded necklace, armlets, and bracelets are carved at the chest and wrists. The crown rises in a tiered point with spiral and floral motifs, and long decorated hair falls to the shoulders on each side.

The sculpture is carved from saffron-toned stone, a warm dark brown material with an ochre undertone that becomes visible where light catches the relief carving across the robes and crown. The surface has a matte, hand-worked finish consistent with traditional stone carving from Java or Bali. At 48 inches tall this piece works as a standalone garden statue or as an active water feature beside a pond, pool, or garden basin, where water pours from the vessel into the space below.

Kamatchi is the sweet Mother of love towards human beings.
She impels full control over kama

Devi is the Sanskrit word for "Goddess". She is the core aspect of every Hindu Goddess. Devi is synonymous with Shakti, the female aspect of the divine, as conceptualized by the Shakta tradition of Hinduism. She is the female counterpart without whom the male aspect, which represents consciousness or discrimination, remains impotent and void.

Devi has many different names depending on where in India she is worshipped. In Madurai she is referred to as Meenakshi, in Chidambaram Shivakami, and in Kanchipuram she is revered as Kamatchi. In each city her likeness takes on different aspects as you can see by the variety of poses of Devi. As Meenakshi she stands holding a parrot. As Shivakami she stands next to her husband as Lord Nataraja and as Kamatchi holding fertility symbols.

Kamatchi is Devi in her creative manifestation bearing fertility symbols such as sugarcane, conch shell and parrot. As Prakriti she balances out the male aspect of the divine.

Lava stone statues from Bali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.

Lava stone's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!
