Kurma Tortoise Ashtadhatu Idol

This exquisite Kurma (tortoise) is made of Ashtadhatu and features intricate carvings. It would be a beautiful addition to your decor and is said to bring good fortune. Kurma is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who represents support, stability, and inner strength. Placing the Kurma in your home or office is believed to attract wealth, abundance, and success, while also bestowing longevity. It can also help to pacify the malefic effects of the planet Saturn. The Kurma should be placed on a plate filled with water, facing west. As per Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu took the form of Kurma(tortoise) and supported the mighty Mount Mandara on his back during the churning of the Ocean of Milk. Thus, Kurma epitomizes the aspects of support, confidence, and stability, while the mountain signifies self-effort.
