The gentle Lord Brahma, with His three heads turned in three different directions, is seated on the back of a peacock. On His lap is the inimitably beautiful Sarasvati. Deep black crowns of an elongated structure on all three heads of Brahma. At the zenith of them all is the all-consuming Kirtimukham.


The unusual Brahma-Sarasvati murti that you see on this page is carved from wood. It features the chaturbhujadhari omnipotent Devata in a myriad of colours that look great against the organic medium - green and crimson and ochre. Behind seated divinity, the aureole is as gorgeously done up as the lifelike features of Brahma-Sarasvati’s many faces.


This Brahma-Sarasvati murti has a straight-cut, uniform silhouette. The style and eloquence of the sculptural handiwork is as if the composition has been plucked from the vaults of an ancient temple buried in the recesses of South India.

A Divine Union of Creation and Knowledge

This magnificent wooden carving captures the divine presence of Lord Brahma, the creator god, seated alongside Goddess Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge, music, and art. Crafted with exquisite detail and bearing the rich artistic heritage of South India, this sculpture stands as a testament to the profound spiritual and cultural narratives that have shaped Indian civilization for millennia. Lord Brahma, with his four heads, symbolizes his omnipresence and his capacity to perceive all directions, a fitting representation for the architect of the cosmos. His serene countenance and the traditional accoutrements he holds signify his role in the cyclical creation of the universe.

The Consort of Wisdom and Harmony

Beside Lord Brahma sits Goddess Saraswati, her gentle posture and serene expression radiating wisdom and grace. Her presence highlights the integral connection between creation and knowledge, for it is through understanding and creativity that the universe unfolds and flourishes. She is often depicted with a veena (a stringed instrument) and a book, symbols of her dominion over music and learning, respectively. In this depiction, her divine companionship with Brahma underscores the belief that creation is nurtured and guided by divine wisdom. Their union is a powerful visual metaphor for the harmonious interplay of cosmic forces.

Symbolism and Artistic Mastery

The sculpture is adorned with intricate carvings, showcasing the skill of the artisan. Lord Brahma's peacock vahana, the majestic peacock, is a significant symbol in Hindu mythology, often associated with royalty, divinity, and the dispelling of darkness. The vibrant colors, though subtly aged, still speak of a rich palette that was once applied with great care. The ornate backdrop, reminiscent of temple architecture, frames the divine figures, enhancing their grandeur and sacredness. Each stroke of the chisel has brought to life not just figures, but also the stories and philosophies that have been passed down through generations. The very wood from which this sculpture is carved holds within it the echoes of ancient forests, lending an earthy and timeless quality to the artwork.

A Legacy Carved in Wood

This piece transcends mere decoration; it is a conduit to a rich spiritual tradition. Such sculptures have historically graced temples, homes, and meditation spaces, serving as focal points for devotion, contemplation, and inspiration. Owning this artifact is akin to bringing a piece of India's enduring cultural legacy into your own space. It invites contemplation on the fundamental principles of existence – creation, knowledge, and the divine forces that govern them. The scale of this sculpture makes it a statement piece, capable of transforming any environment into a sanctuary of spiritual resonance and artistic appreciation. It is a beautiful embodiment of the divine feminine and masculine principles, working in tandem to bring forth existence.
