Wooden Lakshmi Devi | Etikoppaka Golu Doll

This is a hand-painted wooden Lakshmi Devi doll, made in the Etikoppaka style of turned-wood lacquer craft by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. The figure kneels with one hand raised and the other holding a rounded pot-like vessel, wearing a gold crown with a sunburst backing, and sits on a base painted with a red and green lotus motif.  Product Highlights • Kneeling Lakshmi Figure - Seated with one hand raised and the other holding a rounded pot-like vessel, wearing an ornate gold crown with a sunburst backing. • Etikoppaka Turned-Wood Craft - Made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, where wood is turned on a lathe before shaping and painting, a craft practised by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. • Lotus-Painted Base - The rectangular base carries a hand-painted red and green lotus design, echoing Lakshmi's traditional lotus symbolism. • Hand-Painted Detailing - Gold, red and green colours are painted by hand across the crown, attire and base. • Rounded, Traditional Toy-Making Style - Carved in the soft, rounded form typical of this lathe-turned lacquer craft. • Suited for Navratri Golu and Home Decor - Works as a golu display piece through the festival and as a shelf or console piece afterward. • Dimensions - Height 17 cm, width 12.5 cm, weighing close to 180 grams. Why Choose This Wooden Lakshmi Devi Doll • Ready to Display, Already Mounted - The figure is fixed to its base, so there's no separate stand to source or balance. • A Prosperity Theme for Golu - Lakshmi is one of the most requested figures for a golu arrangement, adding a wealth and well-being theme rather than a purely decorative one. • Hand-Painted Character - Brush-painted detailing means the finish has natural variation rather than a uniform factory look. • Works Beyond the Festival - Stands well on a console, shelf or altar corner once Navratri is over. • Manageable Size for Gifting or Shipping - Compact enough to pack and send without special handling. Frequently Asked Questions • What does the Wooden Lakshmi Devi doll represent? It represents the goddess of wealth and well-being, shown here in a seated pose holding a pot-like vessel, a common choice for golu and pooja displays. • Is this doll made using Etikoppaka craft? Yes. It is made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, a turned-wood lacquer craft from Andhra Pradesh where wood is shaped on a lathe and finished with hand-painted colour. • Does the doll come fixed to its base, or is it loose? The figure is already fixed to its lotus-painted base, so it's ready to place on your golu steps or shelf as soon as it arrives. • Is this doll meant for daily pooja use or only for golu display? Both. It's finished to sit through a Navratri golu arrangement and works just as well as a year-round decor or pooja shelf piece afterward. • Is this doll safe to keep around young children? It's best kept as a display piece rather than a plaything, since the painted wooden parts aren't meant for handling by young children.
