On a recent trip to India I purchased this bronze statue. Can anyone help me out as to who it is. It looks old as well. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Chris,

It is Lakshmi, but which one - there are dozens of them? The one that looks the nearest is called Vidya Lakshmi. The link shows the best likeness to your statue, although she only has 2 arms which is supposed to mean that she is in the presence of her husband Vishnu.
