The marriage of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi is a powerful representation of wealth, harmony, and the delicate balance that sustains the entire universe.

The story begins with the churning of the ocean of milk. Seeking the Amrita, the nectar of immortality, Devas (celestial gods) and Asuras (strong demons) joined forces. Heavenly maidens, glistening gems, and powerful weapons were among the many amazing things that appeared as they churned the cosmic ocean with the serpent Vasuki being used as the churning rope. However, the most intriguing sight was yet to appear.

With a spiritual radiance, a majestic lotus flower emerged from the ocean's depths. Goddess Lakshmi, a vision of unmatched beauty, was sitting elegantly on its petals. Everyone who saw her was mesmerized by her magnificent form, which was draped in shimmering silk and embellished with celestial diamonds.

Her very presence radiated luck, prosperity, and good fortune. The question of who would be deserving of calling Lakshmi their consort emerged as the celestial beings gazed at her brilliance. According to Hindu custom, the chosen path was "Swayamvara," a ritual in which a woman selects her husband from a group of suitors. Devas and Asuras eagerly anticipated the ritual, both longing for Lakshmi's blessings.

Lord Vishnu was one of the suitors present. Vishnu, who was well-known for his calm conduct, unflinching morals, and unshakable dedication to maintaining dharma (cosmic order), had a distinct charm. He was there for a sincere relationship with the holy being who personified prosperity itself, not for the lure of wealth or power.

The ceremony of Swayamvara began. Every potential suitor made an appearance in an attempt to get Lakshmi's attention. However, she continued to gaze at Lord Vishnu. As she gracefully walked amidst the suitors, a single glance at Vishnu confirmed her decision. She smiled softly and put a celestial garland around his neck, symbolizing her choice.

The heavens erupted in joyful celebration. The wedding ceremony was conducted by the creator god, Lord Brahma. The newlyweds received blessings from devas and celestial beings. A divine union began with the celestial wedding, a sight of unmatched magnificence.

Lakshmi is Lord Vishnu's companion wherever he is. She is worshipped as Sri Lakshmi, the symbol of wealth and good fortune, in his celestial home, Vaikuntha. Even in his earthly incarnations, like Rama and Krishna, Lakshmi is essential to his prosperity. She can act as his consort Sita or Rukmini at times, or she might be his secret comrade.

Vishnu and Lakshmi's marriage is more than just a romantic tale. It symbolizes the peaceful fusion of two fundamental cosmic energies. Stability and order are personified by Vishnu, the preserver. The goddess of prosperity, Lakshmi, is a symbol of wealth and health. Together, they represent the delicate balance that sustains the universe: stability is necessary for prosperity to thrive, and preservation is impossible without prosperity.

The Cholas, a dynasty that governed Southern India from 850 to 1250 CE, invented the lost-wax method. Chola Bronze Statues are made using this method and are used in temples for worship. Intricate metal sculptures, especially in India, are made using the centuries-old lost-wax panchaloha technique. It uses panchaloha, an alloy of five metals—gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc—in conjunction with the lost-wax casting method.

This is a summary of the lost-wax procedure used in making this statue:

1. The required sculpture is carefully created by hand using a realistic wax model. Getting the appropriate shape and fine details requires tedious shaping and carving.
2. The wax model is covered with layers of a hard substance, usually a clay-based blend. This leaves a hollow hole inside the wax sculpture, forming a mold around it.
3. When the mold is heated, the wax melts and escapes via a tiny hole. As a result, a hole remains in the original wax model's shape.
4. The mold's space is filled with molten panchaloha. As the metal cools and solidifies, it assumes the shape of the original wax model.
5. The completed metal sculpture is gently removed from the firm clay mold.
6. Following cleaning and polishing, the sculpture may be further adorned with gems or ornaments.
