Votive Panel - Antique Khmer Style Bronze Vishnu Votive Panel - 8cm/3"
Measures (Height) 8cm/3"
A beautiful antique Khmer style votive panel, depicting multiple antique 12th century Angkor Wat style Vishnu sculptures.
Vishnu is both world protector and preserver, restorer of moral order - he is all-powerful and all-pervasive by nature.
Votive panels in Hinduism hold deep spiritual and cultural significance, serving as expressions of devotion, gratitude, and the aspiration for enlightenment. These panels, often found in temples, monasteries, caves, and shrines, are created as offerings by devotees or patrons and feature intricate depictions of Hindu Gods or scenes from Hindu teachings.
They play an essential role in Hindu ritual practice and art, embodying the intersection of devotion and artistic expression while reflecting key aspects of Hindu beliefs about merit-making, karma, and spiritual progress.
Votive panels or plaques, such as this, were produced as holy souvenirs for pilgrims as mementos or to be deposited by devotees at sacred shrines or caves.
Khmer style plaques have been found in temples across Southeast Asia, either made in the Khmer style or brought there by pilgrims as offerings.
Votive panels in Hinduism are more than just artistic representations of religious figures or symbols—they are tangible expressions of faith, devotion, and the desire for spiritual progress. By creating and offering votive panels, devotees participate in the practice of merit-making, seek protection and blessings, and commemorate significant moments in their spiritual journeys.
Throughout history, votive panels have served as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds, embodying the Hindu ideals of compassion, wisdom, and enlightenment.
