Title: 15" Brass Ayyappan Throne with Stairs

Description: This Brass Ayyappan Throne with Stairs is profoundly significant in Hindu tradition. The intricately designed throne features a kirtimukha prabhavali, symbolizing auspiciousness and divine protection. The eighteen steps leading to the throne hold immense importance, representing the sacred Pathinettam Padi leading to the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple. The first five steps reflect the five human senses (Panchendriyas): vision (eye), hearing (ears), smell (nose), taste (mouth), and touch (skin). The following phases reflect the eight Ashtaragas: Kama (Love), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Avarice), Moha (Lust), Madha (Pride), Maltsarya (Unhealthy Competition), Asooya (Jealousy), and Dhumb (Boastfulness). The last three phases symbolize three Gunas or Thrigunas (naturally occurring qualities): Satva (perspicuity, discernment), Rajas (activity, enjoyment), and Thamas (inactivity, stupor).
