Embellished with gold leaf, this painting depicts Varalakshmi, a form of Goddess Lakshmi who grants boons (vara). The goddess Varalakshmi typically stands or sits on a lotus pedestal, while holding a lotus in her hand, symbolizing fortune, knowledge of self, and spiritual liberation. The painting depicts the goddess with four hands, which represent the four aspects of human life: dharma, kama, artha, and moksha.
