Exotic India 7 Fierce Goddess Pratyangira Brass Statue

This beautiful brass statue depicts the lion-headed goddess Pratyangira, who is believed to be a powerful repellent of the malign influence of witchcraft. The statue measures 7.3 inches in height, 4.4 inches in width, and 2 inches in depth, and is made in India.

Pratyangira is a deity associated with tantric traditions, and her worship is considered particularly effective for eliminating the influence of evil forces. It is said that any act performed by invoking Pratyangira, especially the dark ones like killing and subduing, are impossible to retract once initiated.

The statue shows Pratyangira riding a lion, with a tall flaming crown adorning her head below the parasol of a five-headed snake's hood. She has four arms that hold a trident, a serpent-noose, a hand-drum, and a human skull. A garland of skulls also adorns her neck.

The ritual that Pratyangira is associated with, if completed, would have made the recipient invincible. However, Hanuman himself had to interfere and disrupt Indrajit's yajna to prevent this from happening.

Due to Pratyangira's tantric associations, her worship in the full tantric tradition is restricted and should be performed only under the guidance of a Siddha guru proficient in Tantra. Her worship is often performed during Amavasya, or the new moon night, as it is believed to be particularly effective for eliminating the influence of evil forces during this time.

The brass material used in the creation of this statue adds to its durability and cultural significance, as brass has long been a preferred medium for crafting Hindu deities and ritual objects. The intricate details and symbolism captured in this statue make it a captivating representation of the powerful and complex goddess Pratyangira.
