This is a pair of ornate heavy Gauri busts sourced from Pandharpur in Maharashtra. The Gauri has well defined features with beautiful almond shaped eyes, small lips painted in rred, traditional Maharashtrian hairdo, fine ornaments adorning the neck as well as the forehead. The worship of Gauri is prevalent in the India states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. She is a representation of Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. She is symbolic of love, fertility and sacrifice.
