The Divine Physician

This exquisitely crafted bronze statue depicts a revered figure from Hindu mythology, bringing a sense of peace and well-being to any space. Standing at just over a foot tall, the deity is rendered in rich bronze, showcasing intricate detailing from the elaborate crown to the folds of the flowing garment. The subtle variations in the bronze finish add depth and character to the piece, hinting at the statue's handcrafted nature. This representation is a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional bronze casting.

Dhanvantari: An Avatar of Vishnu

According to ancient Hindu scriptures, particularly the Puranas, this figure emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan). In a grand collaboration between gods (Devas) and demons (Asuras), the ocean was churned to extract the nectar of immortality (Amrita). Amongst the treasures that arose was this deity, carrying a pot filled with the divine elixir. This deity is believed to be an incarnation of Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. As such, the deity holds a unique position as both a divine being and a pioneer in the field of medicine.

Symbolism and Iconography

The four arms of the deity each hold significant objects. One hand bears the Amrita Kalasha, the pot of immortality, while the others hold medicinal herbs or the Chakra, symbolizing healing energy. The presence of these symbols represents the power to cure, heal, and grant longevity. The flowing garment signifies both royalty and a readiness to serve humanity. The serene expression of the face reflects compassion and a desire to alleviate suffering. The statue stands upon a detailed pedestal base, showcasing lotus petal motifs, which represent purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening.

Bronze: A Timeless Medium

Created using the Panchaloha technique, which refers to a five-metal alloy, commonly bronze, this statue exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Indian sculpture. The process of creating these statues is a time-honored tradition, passed down through generations of skilled artisans. The bronze material ensures durability and longevity, allowing this sacred object to be cherished for years to come. Perfect for home altars, meditation spaces, or as a decorative element, this statue serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of healing and well-being.

Ideal Placement and Care

The deity is traditionally associated with healing, health, and well-being. Place the statue in a clean and respectful area, preferably facing east, to invite positive energies into your home. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help preserve the statue's luster and beauty. Its dimensions are 12.2 x 5.2 x 5.0 inches.
