Handmade Antiquated Nataraja Brass Statue

Icons depicting Shiva as the Lord of Dance Nataraja Brass Statue seem to have originated in the North in Gupta times, and developed in the South under the post-Gupta Vishnukundin dynasty early in the seventh century. One of the first southern sculptures is a colossal dancing figure carved upon the cliff face above the facade of a cave- temple at Mogallarajapuram on the Krishna River. The Pallavas took up the theme and developed it throughout the succeeding two centuries until, in the tenth century; the Cholas perfected in bronze the form which is the precursor to the present image. Antiquated Nataraja Brass Statue To place this brass statue icon-type in its context, it is just one of several images, such as the Dakshinamurtis, which depict Shiva -Mahaguru in one of his teaching roles; in this case, as a teacher of the classical dance which originated as a magnificent form of worship in temples. The architects and sculptors of the temple having been required to study music and dance, ...

Lord Krishna with a Cow and His Flute Brass Statue

Exceptionally ornate cast in brass, as lustrous and worked with as fine details as an image cast in gold: the same minuteness and precision as defining a piece at a goldsmith’s workshop, the statue represents Lord Krishna playing fully absorbed on his flute. Hearing the melody a cow is drawn to him and stands supporting him from behind. Halebid in the country’s southern part had a highly ornate style of divine images, Krishna’s in particular; however, this image is more akin to north Indian metal casting with a widely different character. The iconography and anatomy of Krishna’s figure and the form and features of the cow are characteristically north Indian. Even the ‘tri-bhanga’ – tri-curved posture is a more celebrated form of Krishna’s images in the north. The popular term for ‘tri-bhanga’ being ‘banke’ this form of his image is widely known as Banke Bihari and enshrines the most significant of his ‘pithas’ – seats, the Vrindavana shrine. One of the most popular styles of Krishna i...

Kailasha Pati- Lord Shiva White Marble Statue As The Lord of Kailasha

The Skanda Purana, one of the 18 Puranas paints a word picture for the devotee and the seeker - of the marriage of Shiva and Parvati. As a part of the Hindu marriage ceremony, Lord Shiva was asked to name his lineage. But who could know about the family of “Svayambhu”- he who originated from the earth, thus had no parentage? To soothe the anxious heart of the parents of Parvati- Himalaya and Mena Devi, sage Narada narrated to them the glory of Mahadeva- the great god. He told them that even Brahma and Vishnu cannot realize the true nature of Shiva. He is the formless primordial divine who takes whatever form He wants. His lineage is the Nada- the primeval sound from which the universe originates at the beginning and which the creation collapses upon its end. The Adi-Deva, the primordial god that Narada described to the parents of goddess Parvati, in this awe-inspiring white marble murti manifests himself as “Kailashapati”, the Lord of Kailasha, the mountain that is the axis of the Uni...

Bhagawan Varaha with Bhudevi (Dhokra Art) Panchaloha Bronze Statue

The embodiment of sacrifice and the savior of Earth, Vishnu’s third avatar, Varaha, are presented in a highly charged form in this ‘panchaloha’ bronze sculpture image, along with his consort Varahi, or the Earth goddess Bhudevi. This visual presentation is also symbolic of what Hinduism today celebrates as Varaha Jayanti, which marks the mythological celebration of Varaha defeating Hiranyaksha, who stole the Earth and hid her in the ocean, and rescued her upon the submission of the demon. Varaha’s tusks, notably, are understood to have supported the Earth’s retrieval from under the ocean. Varaha with Bhudevi (Dhokra Art) Panchaloha Bronze Statue While a unique zoomorphic form of Varaha is still present in Khajuraho – complete with carvings of sages, gods, and the saptmatrikas – we have greater evidence of anthropomorphic forms of this Vishnu’s avatar, like the Gupta-era wall panel in Cave five at Udayagiri. Varaha’s iconographic depictions have been detailed in the Agni Purana, Vishn...

Tibetan Buddhist Naga-Bhishana Garuda Copper Statue - Made in Nepal

Garuda 'the devourer' is the mythical 'Lord of birds' in both the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In the Hindu Puranic legends, Garuda is the son of Kashyapa and Vinata. He is said to have emerged, fully grown, from an egg, after incubating for five hundred years. Garuda has always been the sworn enemy of snakes and nagas. The archetypal legend of the enmity that exists between birds of prey and serpents occurs across a wide spectrum of transcultural mythologies. Such birds include the Sumerian and Greek eagle, the poison-transmuting peacock of Persia and India, the Chinese peng-niao, and the gigantic snake-eating Simurgh or rukh of Sinbad's adventures in Arabian nights. Buddhist Naga-Bhishana Garuda Copper Statue The word Garuda means 'wings of speech'. He personifies Vedic knowledge. On his wings, as it were, Vedic knowledge has come down to us. The Brihad Tantra Sara lists twelve of his names, which include Suparna (beautiful wings), Garutman (the solar ...

Handmade Home Decor Blessing Buddha Brass Statue

Lord Gautama Buddha is believed to be the sole founder of Buddhism and his teachings are entirely concerned with defining a path free of worldly pleasures and liberating sentient beings from suffering. The bliss that you perceive as you look at the face of this Buddha sculpture  makes you feel in heaven; the superfine carvings of his sharp nose, the satisfactory smiling curve of the lips, and the half-open eyes reflect that real essence of calmness and peace. The sacred mark on his palms is a result of him being enlightened from within. In this posture of padmasana and vitarka mudra, Lord Buddha teaches his disciples of the four noble truths of dukkha (the truth of suffering), samudaya (cause of suffering), nirhodha (end of suffering), and magga (the path that frees us from suffering).

The Incomparable Beauty Of Ganesha Brass Statue Seated On An AUM Pedestal

Much has been written about Ganesha. As Hindu dharma's most adorable boy-deity, He has inspired countless artisans and painters and poets across the subcontinent since time immemorial; and how could He not? So overcome by love are His devotees - and so widespread His followers - that His form is ubiquitous on the streets, inside homes, and across commercial establishments in India. This is because He is generous with His blessings, so everyone set to begin some venture seeks His attention; and many find His childlike demeanour irresistible. The innocent yet wise elephant head, the form of a chubby little boy, and His undying love for laddoos are a few aspects that add to His demeanour. Folklore has numberless explanations for this one-of-a-kind anatomical quirk, each surpassing the other in terms of how reasonable it all sounds to us mere mortals. The long and the short of it is that Shiva-Parvati's son was born a very handsome baby but due to circumstances possible only with...

Lord Buddha Brass Statue in Dhyana Mudra - Robes Decorated with Lotus Flowers

Lord Buddha hailed from a royal family, of the Shakya clan, hailing from the modern Indo-Nepal border. As a young man, he renounced his aristocratic heritage and embraced the life of an ascetic beggar. Buddha understood the fallacies of materialistic attachments. He taught his followers that this attachment was the root of all suffering. It's notable however that Buddha never advocated complete renunciation to his disciples, not to all, in any case, instead highlighting the importance of an honest, virtuous, and simple living, while still suggesting them to keep performing their normal worldly duties. Lord Buddha Brass Statue in Dhyana Mudra  This exquisite brass statue depicts Buddha in all his meditative simplicity. His elegant but simple robes are a representation of traditional attire known as the triple robe, the tricivara, usually consisting of a waistcloth (antaravasaka), an upper robe (uttarasanga), and an outer robe (sanghati). The Buddha's robes are shown decor...

Large Size Manjushri - Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom Tibetan Buddhist Deity

This forty-inch high and twenty-six inch wide brass image represents one of the early forms of Manjushri, the  Buddhist  god who stands for wisdom and knowledge, more particularly the knowledge of linguistics and grammar. The image of the deity, with its two arms and the book Prajnaparmita, carried over a lotus, pursues initial idiom of Manjushri imagery. One of the would-be  Buddha ’s, Manjushri also symbolised, like other  Bodhisattvas  Avalokiteshvara, Metreya, Padmapani, etceteras, different stages of soul's attainment of Buddhattva. In early innovations,  Manjushri  images had normal two arms, and only rarely four, carrying in one of them a 'khadaga', sword, and in the other the book Prajnaparmita. Sometimes the book was carried over a lotus, and the arm other than the one, which carried 'khadaga', had a diamond Ratna-mani or Chintamani, which symbolised truth, as like truth, it neither rusted nor defaced or eroded. With the sword,...
