Kamala is one of the ten manifestations of the goddess Shakti. Each of the ten goddesses represents a different aspect of the physical and spiritual realm. Kamala, also called Lakshmi in her Tantric form, is associated with lotus flowers which represent life and fertility. Typically accompanied by a pair of elephants which further signify fertility as well as the strength of divine authority. Kamala is the goddess of wealth and material comfort, it is to her that devotees pray for a good harvest, to seek protection from unemployment and debt, and to stave off depression and anxiety. A similar 18th century Jain painting of Purushkara Yantra was sold in Christie's, New York, 23 March 2022, lot 497.
