    Devi pdmavati how mane hands in statue? N what's she carrybin her hand

    one year ago 222

    Padmavati Devi is a revered Yakshini (protective goddess) in Jainism, especially associated with the 23rd Tirthankara, Parshvanatha. In Jain iconography, Padmavati Mata is typically depicted with four hands.

    In her hands, she commonly holds:

    1. Lotus (Padma) – Symbol of purity and spiritual power.
    2. Noose (Pasha) – Represents control over passions and protection from evil.
    3. Fruit (often a lemon or pomegranate) – Signifies auspiciousness and prosperity.
    4. Rosary (Mala) or Shield – Symbolizes spiritual practice or protection.

    Sometimes, depictions vary and she may hold other items such as a goad (ankusha), but the lotus and noose are most consistent in her representations.

    She is often shown seated on a lotus or a snake, and sometimes accompanied by a snake canopy, reflecting her association with Parshvanatha, who is also connected with snakes.
