What Is The Theme In This Kothai Nachiyar Image?

Beauty At Head & At Foot? ​

Here is a portrait of bride

​

Lakkumi embellished in sacred white silk,
holding the lighted earthen-lamp on one
and the other hand gently gripping
Long Green stem of a pinky lotus
(or is it that green parrot?).

Her third left hand too seems to carry a flower.
Her fourth hand is invisible.
Behind the image, one can see
Lord Srinivasa idol under an arched roof.

Look at her right right-foot
kicking as she steps into
her in-laws’ home.
Is she kicking a pot of paddy
or rice inward home.

Is it auspicious kick?

Could anyone Guess and write here
what more this portrait symbolises?

Beauty always lies in the eye of the beholder.

One can look at the silver-metal-ring called metee in Tamil - adorning her finger next to to left toe.

Those interested in drawing can by no means miss the wavy anklet shown worn around her ankles.
