Lakshmisarasvatisamyoga

Lakshmi, the goddess of fertility, stands on a large lotus flower in a pond and holds a lotus flower in each of her four upper hands. At each of her sides is a white elephant, from whose trunk holy water (with flowers?) is pouring over her (motif: Gajalakhmi, i.e. Lakshmi with the elephants, a very old pictorial motif). To her right in the foreground sits the goddess of wisdom Sarasvati with the vina and the attributes prayer chain and manuscript (Vedas). On the right is the peacock, Sarasvati's mount. SM8HF
