Shatari-trophy
The Shatari is usually an installed form of a deity reprensenting the lotus feet of the supreme lord atop all the worlds. The 3 lower levels represent the 3 worlds in the material world bhur bhuvah and svaha, the uncarved area represents the viraja river between the spiritual and the material reality. The uper level represents the spiritual world called Vaikuntha.
This Trophy was made to honor the Sankirtan Devotee who in the whole year let the Brihat miridanga sound the loudest! The lotus on the very top represent the supreme abode of Gaura-Sundara the supreme and primordial form of the Lord, depicted here as his lotus feet. On the backside the names of this Devotees take shelter at this lotus feet.
