This three-headed image of Brahma, carved in green stone, presents the creator deity in a form that is both iconographically precise and sculpturally refined. The choice of green is especially resonant. In Indian aesthetic thought, green is associated with fertility, growth, renewal, and the generative principle of nature.
As Brahma embodies srishti, the act of creation itself, the verdant tonality of the stone becomes conceptually aligned with his cosmic function. The natural variations within the green surface lend the figure a living vitality, suggesting the pulse of manifest existence.
The three visible heads represent Brahma’s all-encompassing knowledge of the three realms and the three dimensions of time: past, present, and future. Traditionally four-headed, the fourth is implied beyond sight, reinforcing the deity’s omniscience.
