EDITORS COMMENTS
In the tranquil grounds of Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, stands a captivating statue of the Buddhist divinity Kuveraa. This exquisite figure, believed to have been acquired for the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, in 1869, adds an intriguing Eastern touch to the otherwise quintessentially English landscape. Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, a British naval officer, is known to have purchased the statue during his travels in India in the late 19th century. The statue, dating back to the 30s or 1930s, depicts Kuveraa, the Hindu and Buddhist goddess of wealth, prosperity, and protection. Seated gracefully on her ornate plinth, she is covered in a flowing robe, her right hand in the gesture of giving, and her left hand resting on her lap in the gesture of reflection. The statue, a testament to the rich cultural exchange between India and England during the colonial era, is a visual delight. The intricate details of the figure, from the delicate folds of her robe to the serene expression on her face, are a feast for the eyes. The peaceful ambiance of the Sandringham Estate is further enhanced by the presence of this beautiful and enigmatic figure. The statue of Kuveraa, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a must-see for anyone visiting Sandringham Estate. It stands as a reminder of the fascinating cultural connections that have shaped the history of both India and England. This image, captured in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and richness of cultural heritage.
