Asth Dhatu Shri Ganesh Laxmi Yantra - Heavy

Shrijap.com Presents the Asth Dhatu Shri Ganesh Laxmi Yantra - Heavy, a thick, weighty plate that brings together Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, and Goddess Laxmi, the giver of wealth. In Hindu tradition, the two are worshipped side by side, especially at Diwali, because wealth is believed to last only when it is guided by wisdom and a clear path.

At 185-200 grams, this piece is far heavier than a standard 3.5 inch plate, and the solid feel is clear in the hand. Raised figures of Ganesh and Laxmi sit on either side of the plate, with Ganesh seated on the left and Laxmi on a lotus on the right. The title "Shri Ganesh Laxmi Yantra" runs across the top, above a nine-square number grid. A larger sixteen-square grid sits below, framed by the words "Shubh" and "Labh", meaning good and profit, and two swastiks. Made in Ashtadhatu, the alloy of eight metals long preferred for sacred objects, it has a hammered, textured face and a smooth raised border, made to stand steady on an altar for years.
