Yamuna

Description

A vision of elegance emerges from the sacred rivers of India – Yamuna, the radiant goddess. With a grace captured in the tribhanga pose, she sits or stands upon a sturdy tortoise, symbolizing both the unwavering flow of life (Yamuna) and the enduring foundation that allows it to flourish (the tortoise). Her hand cradles a kalasha, a vessel overflowing with life-giving water, a testament to her power to cleanse and purify. Not just physically, for Yamuna's very presence is believed to wash away sin, offering liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Adorned in a resplendent sari and crowned with jewels, she embodies the divine feminine, a vision of regal beauty. A lotus flower, a symbol of spiritual awakening, might grace her touch, adding another layer of meaning to her presence. Often paired with Ganga, her sister, they stand as guardians at temple entrances – a visual promise of purification for devotees seeking the sacred space within. Yamuna is more than just a river; she's a goddess personified, a symbol of life, purity, and the enduring hope of liberation.
