India’s Large Garden Statues
collection is a celebration of grandeur in the great outdoors. Made from
durable materials such as stone, wood, brass, and bronze, these statues
represent Hindu gods and goddesses, large Buddhist sculptures, spiritual ritual decor,
and royal animal motifs and architectural details, inspired by the heritage of
India. Despite their large sizes, these statues are decorated with handcrafted
detailing and finishing, making them a centerpiece to have in your gardens,
courtyards, heritage hotels, or as a part of luxury architectural plans.
Indian
sculpture has always been sacred, symbolic, and integrally connected to the
natural world. From the granite guardians of the Chola temples of Tamil Nadu,
to the celestial nymphs dancing on the ledges of Khajuraho, to the meditating
Buddhas carved into the cave temples of Ellora and Ajanta, Indian tradition
places art within the open embrace of nature.
Exotic
India’s garden statues represent this same heritage, inviting you to create a
modern sanctuary that reflects the rhythms of nature and artistry of human
hands.
While each
garden is a reflection of those who look after it, here are a few ways in which
you can begin adding these garden statues to your space-
🔶Create a Focal Point: Place statues at
the end of walkways, near water bodies, or under a sacred tree to draw the eye
and create a peaceful atmosphere.
🔶Use Pedestals or Platforms: Elevating
sacred statues protects them from damage and evokes the traditional plinths
seen in temple architecture, giving the garden an air of the ancient shrines.
🔶Blend with Natural Elements: Surround
your statues with flowering plants, gravel, or stone arrangements to make the
art feel at home in nature.
🔶Lighting: Soft lighting
during dusk or nighttime can bring dramatic depth and divinity to your
sculpture. Alternatively, you can place the statue in a corner or area where
the sunlight and moonlight naturally play with its surface, giving the
sculpture a different feel at each hour of the day.
The best part
of having a garden statue at home is that the upkeep is minimal. Everything,
including aging and natural wear and tear, becomes a part of its story and
beauty. However, if you want to keep your garden decor clean, here are a few
easy tips to follow-
Periodic
cleaning with a soft brush or cloth will help remove dust and debris. Avoid
harsh chemicals. For brass and bronze, a natural polish using lemon and salt or
specialized metal cleaners helps maintain their shine.
Keep them
under a sheltered outdoor space or apply natural protective oils to prevent
weather damage.
In extreme
weather conditions (heavy monsoon or direct summer heat), consider temporary
covers or protective enclosures.
Check for
cracks or wear due to natural settling and weathering, and address them early
to preserve the statue’s integrity.

and the importance of historical places.

sources.

Against :-
🔶For a developing country like ours, it
would be wiser to spend the money on solving other critical issues.
🔶It seems ridiculous to spend crores of rupees on
building statues when we have the loan of billions on our heads.
🔶There is also no guarantee that the tall statues will
attract tourists.
Size in art
matters because of its power to impact the way audiences respond. There's
something about large-scale objects that affects our intuitive senses and
emotions, chastening us with a reverent feeling. The size of an artwork should
be regarded with the same importance as its composition. Works that are too
small could be overwhelmed by the room, and works that are too big could
overwhelm the room altogether.
Size is simply the
relationship between the areas occupied by one shape to that of the area
occupied by another. Art appreciation helps open up the mindset of the people,
by listening to different perspectives and views as well as interpretations of
the art, it encourages thoughtful conversation and the understanding that there
is more than one approach to everything.
Brass is one of
the metals which are known for its brilliant shine and luster. It is a metal
alloy composed of copper and zinc, and some proportions of other elements that
make it a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. This is why artisans
and sculptors use brass to make aesthetic idols that can be kept outside for
many years without losing their shine.

city of the Rajasthan state in India. It is known as “Viswas Swaroopam”, which
means “Statue of belief”. The statue is 369 feet high and is made of Panchaloha (five metals) – Gold, Silver, Iron, Copper, and Zinc. It
depicts all the divine characteristics and expressions of Lord Shiva. There is
a statue of Nandi on the right side of Shiva’s statue in the Rajsamand
district, and its height is calculated to be 25 feet.

Our garden
statues are handcrafted in brass, bronze, stone, wood, and durable fiber. Each
material is carefully chosen for its longevity, weather resistance, and
traditional authenticity.
Yes. Many of
our sculptures are designed specifically for outdoor use. However, we recommend
minimal shelter or maintenance depending on the material and climate if you
want to preserve the original appearance of the material. On the other hand, if
it suits, you can let the material interact with natural elements, a process
that gives the sculptures an artistic, aged appearance.
Consider the
theme and size of your garden, your personal or spiritual connection to a deity
or motif, and the material that best suits your local climate. You can also
browse by iconography- Ganesha for prosperity, Buddha for peace, Nataraja for
energy, Apsara statues for ornamental decor, or animal motifs for protection
and power.
