The Lakshmi Mayura Nakshi Kada - BAN008

Description

This is a Temple-style Nakshi bangle, characterized by its deep, sculptural relief work that mimics the architectural carvings of ancient Indian temples. The piece is a masterpiece of symbolic storytelling and traditional aesthetics.

Key Features

• Central Motifs: The bangle features alternating figures of Goddess Lakshmi (symbolizing prosperity and fortune) seated on a lotus, and majestic Peacocks (Mayura), which represent grace and beauty.
• Artistry: The "Nakshi" technique gives the gold-toned metal a hand-carved, antique look. The intricate detailing on the goddess’s crown and the peacock’s plumage demonstrates high-level artisanal skill.
• Embellishments: The piece is accented with teardrop-shaped Kemp stones (ruby red and emerald green), which are traditional hallmarks of South Indian temple jewelry. These stones add a vibrant contrast to the rich, matte gold finish.
• Style: Known as a Kada due to its broad, bold structure, this bangle is designed to be a statement piece, typically worn for weddings, festivals, or significant cultural ceremonies.
