Vasudhara, the Buddhist goddess of wealth and abundance, brings well-being to her devotees and ensures a bountiful harvest. With her two lower hands, she makes the gesture of bestowal and holds an auspicious overflowing vase. Her two middle hands hold a cluster of jewels (on the goddess’s right, or the viewer’s left) and a sheaf of grain. With her upper right hand, she makes the gesture of honoring the Buddha, and in her upper left she holds a manuscript of the “Perfection of Wisdom” text (“Prajnaparamita Sutra”). Vasudhara is not only associated with material well-being, she is also an embodiment of wisdom.
