A Divine Duo for Prosperity and Wisdom

Invite blessings of abundance and the remover of obstacles into your home with this exquisite brass statue set. Featuring the benevolent Goddess Lakshmi, the divine dispenser of wealth and fortune, and Lord Ganesha, the beloved elephant-headed deity known for wisdom and auspicious beginnings, this set embodies the harmonious union of prosperity and knowledge. Each idol is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in India, a land rich in spiritual heritage and artistic tradition. The lustrous brass captures the intricate details of the divine figures, from the delicate adornments of Goddess Lakshmi to the powerful presence of Lord Ganesha.

Embodying Auspiciousness and Grace

Goddess Lakshmi, often depicted seated on a lotus flower, is the goddess of wealth, love, beauty, and prosperity. Her four arms represent the four goals of human life in Vedic tradition: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (liberation). The coins that sometimes flow from her hands symbolize her power to bestow material and spiritual riches. In mythology, she is said to emerge from the churning of the cosmic ocean, bringing forth beauty and abundance. This statue captures her serene grace, offering a visual reminder to cultivate a life of abundance and gratitude.

The Remover of Obstacles

Lord Ganesha, with his distinctive elephant head, is one of the most revered deities in the Hindu pantheon. He is invoked at the commencement of every ritual and ceremony to ensure success and to remove any impediments. Stories abound of his intelligence and strength, including how he was gifted his elephant head by Lord Shiva. His broken tusk symbolizes sacrifice and the ability to overcome challenges. His presence in this set ensures that your journey towards prosperity is cleared of obstacles, paving the way for a smooth and successful path.

Artistry and Sacred Symbolism

The intricate archway framing each deity is a testament to the master craftsmanship involved. These ornamental details are inspired by traditional Indian architectural motifs, often found in temples and palaces, symbolizing divine protection and celestial realms. The use of high-quality brass not only lends a timeless elegance to the idols but also holds symbolic significance in Hindu culture, representing purity and auspiciousness. The dark, wooden base provides a stable and elegant foundation, allowing these divine figures to be proudly displayed in your puja room, living space, or any area where you seek to foster an atmosphere of peace, prosperity, and wisdom. This set is more than just a decorative item; it is a conduit of divine energy, a beautiful representation of cherished spiritual values, and a powerful reminder of the blessings that can flow into your life when invited with devotion.

Sculpting Serenity: Unveiling the Art of Crafting Wood Statues

Wood has been a preferred material for sculptures and statues since ancient times. It is easy to work with than most metals and stones and therefore requires less effort to shape it into any desired shape or form. The texture of the wood gives an element of realism to the sculpture. The selection of an appropriate wood type is necessary for carving. Woods that are too resinous or coniferous are not considered good for carving as their fiber is very soft and thus lacks strength. On the other hand, wood such as Mahogany, Oakwood, Walnut wood, Weet cherry wood, etc., are preferred by sculptors because their fiber is harder. A wood sculptor uses various tools such as a pointed chisel in one hand and a mallet in another to bring the wood to the desired measurement and to make intricate details on it. A carving knife is used to cut and smooth the wood. Other tools such as the gouge, V-tool, and coping saw also serve as important tools in wood carving. Although the wood carving technique is not as complex and tough as stone carving or metal sculpting, nonetheless, a wood carver requires a high level of skills and expertise to create a stunning sculpture.

1. Selecting the right wood

The process of wood carving begins with selecting a chunk of wood that is required according to the type and shape of the statue to be created by the sculptor. Both hardwoods and softwoods are used for making artistic pieces, however, hardwoods are preferred more than softer woods because of their durability and longevity. But if heavy detailing is to be done on the statue, wood with fine grain would be needed as it would be difficult to work with hardwood.

2. Shaping the wood

Once the wood type is selected, the wood carver begins the general shaping process using gouges of various sizes. A gouge is a tool having a curved cutting edge which is useful in removing large unwanted portions of wood easily without splitting the wood. The sculptor always carves the wood across the grain of the wood and not against it.

3. Adding detailing

When a refined shape of the statue is obtained, it is time for making details on the statue using different tools. This is achieved by using tools such as a veiner to make and a V-tool to create decorative and sharp cuts.

4. Surface finishing

Once finer details have been added, the sculptor is ready to smoothen the surface and give it a perfect finish. Tools such as rasps and rifflers are used to get a smooth surface. The finer polishing is obtained by rubbing the surface with sandpaper. If a textured surface is required, this step is skipped. Finally, to protect the statue from excessive dirt accumulation, the sculptor applies natural oils such as walnut or linseed oil all over it. This also brings a natural sheen to the statue.

How to care for Wood Statues?

Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.

Wood tends to expand and contract even after it has been processed, thus it is always recommended to keep the wooden sculptures in rooms with little humidity. Excess moisture can harm your masterpiece.

Periodical dusting of the finished piece is necessary to maintain its beauty as dust accumulation on the surface takes away the shine of the sculpture. You can use a clean and soft cloth or a hairbrush for this purpose.

You must avoid applying any chemical-based solutions that may damage the wood from the inside. Instead, you can apply lemon oil or coconut oil using a cotton rag to the sculpture to bring out its natural shine. Lemon oil also helps to clean any stains on the sculpture.

Applying a layer of beeswax protects the wood from sun damage and hides even the smallest imperfections on the wood.

It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
