Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hello, Here are some pictures from my altar room. They are taken from a video so quality is a little bad. I need help in finding out more information about my mother Rajarajeswari, which you can see is the main deity in the house. The picture my family and I are praying to is very rare, in the sense that she is not seating on a throne but on a lion which looks majestic. I am interested to find out what her form is called when she is presented like that. I also want to know where I can get pictures of her in this form. Singapore doesn't have it and also on the occasions I went to India, I couldn't find any. The picture in my altar is about 35 years old. All the pictures I have seen of her, she is presented on a throne. Also at the Sri Rajarajeswari Peetam in Rochester where are the statues of MA brought from .They are very beautiful. Thanks for you help people........ Jai Ma. Ma's Child Singapore pictures located here ------->>> www.adhimatra.com/altar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Greetings Fellow Country Man Thank you for the pictures of your alter. I can get access to it without no problem. With regards to the pictures, have you ever try the exocticindiaart.com. They have fantastic collections. Perhaps you like to email me privately and I will be able to tell you more in detail. Perhaps our beloved Sankara Menon ( who is an initiated Sri Vidya ) will be able to furnish you with more information on Rajarajeshwari. Om ParaShaktiye Namaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
