Imagining Royalty: How Would You Picture a Wealthy, Noble Ruler?

parasurampur
Please draw a picture of either a female or male person taking the following into account. Or describe in detail keeping the image in mind.

There is a person who possesses a lot of wealth. They belong to a royal family and have a kingdom to rule. The subjects in the kingdom have no fear of any kind. The person is married and always stays away from evil things.

Hi all,

43 views, no reply. I presume you find it difficult. Here are hints to help you answer.

In India, a person ornamented with jewels is seen as wealthy. I think that if considered from a religious point of view, other points can easily be answered.

Possessing a lot of wealth means having lots of happiness, lots of friends, and well-wishers around him. Belonging to a royal family means being part of a family with a healthy mindset, educated, aware of all issues, and leaders in society.

Possessing a kingdom to rule means ruling the hearts of others and winning the world around him. Subjects in the kingdom have no fear of any kind, signifying they have nothing to lose and have committed no sins, leading to a fearless state.

Being married signifies being a committed and responsible person. Always staying away from evil things indicates understanding what he/she wants, as well as recognizing the difference between good and bad.

This is the way I can define these points.

Thank you, Vijeta, for your attempt to answer. But my request is to put your ideas on a picture and attach the picture or narrate your answer in relation to the picture. For example, what stands for wealth (good dress and ornaments can be shown on a woman/man). Similarly, what stands for royalty? How can you symbolize a king/queen? How can the fearlessness of subjects be shown to the king/queen, etc. A single line break should be added here.

etc. A single line break should be added here.

I think you still find it tough to solve. So, I answered the first four lines, leaving you to answer the balance with a clue.

a) Draw a picture of a human being (male or female) on a paper (or imagine so).
b) Ornament it with a lot of jewels (as per gender in Indian culture) indicating a wealthy person.
c) Put dresses on it as per gender to look like a member of the royal family.
d) Put a crown as required for a King or Queen, indicating a ruler.

Please try your best to answer the remaining three points.
Clue: Please think about the spiritual meanings or pictures.

Dear all,

It seems that I have to answer for it. Actually, the answer is either goddess Sri Lakshmi or Lord Vishnu.

a) Draw a picture of a human being (male or female) on a paper (or imagine so)
b) Ornament it with a lot of jewels (as per gender in Indian culture) indicating a wealthy person.
c) Put dresses on it as per gender so as to look like a member of the royal family.
d) Put a crown as required for a King or Queen indicating a Ruler.
e) Show a blessing hand indicating fearless to the subjects.
f) Show four hands indicating s/he is married (grihasthi) (not a hermit).
g) Sitting on or holding a lotus symbolizes a pure life i.e. away from impurities.

I hope all these attributes are generally ornamented to goddess Lakshmi as well as to Lord Vishnu. For more clarification if any, you are welcomed.
