Hello

Can anyone tell me who this is?

Could it be Bhakta Smeagal before coming onboard Gaudiya Repercussions and getting corrupted???

Visual parody aside, I do hope someone here can identify Kamala's little deity. The pose of the hands really mystifiy me, for it seems out of stylistic position to represent either Radha or Sita?

Somebody help!

The fact that the hands are primed to hold objects vertically may very well indicate Rama or Laksmana (bow and arrow). Since Rama often has one hand in a blessing mudra, Laksmana would be a better candidate.

If this Deity indeed has boobs, it may be a sakhi, with her hands primed for holding a chamara, etc.

My 2 cents.
babu
i'm leaning towards rama and laksmana too as generally with ksatriyas, the boobs are pointy so they can serve as a weapon
zanardi
Lady with perky boobs or an odd looking man with even oddier man boobs. Go figure!

Kamala,
I would say it was Radha; I have seen deities like this before.
The hands are positioned to hold a flower garland.
Below is a rather poor picture of a similar Radha deity.

I agree also with the Radha explanation, and this is scary!
Maybe there is still hope for peace in the world.
Perhaps we should all pack up and go to the Middle East and straighten them out.
