Nowhere else can you find so many high quality large sized statues. And the benefits of these fine pieces goes beyond the aesthetic and into the spiritual realm.

In Hinduism, the images of gods are not merely inanimate pieces of metal or stone. They are a vital connection between a human and the divine, holy symbols that themselves contain the force of the deities they share a likeness with. These are idols that act like portals into a higher form of consciousness. This is because, for many Indian spiritual paths, it is the direct experience of god that is sought, not mere intellectual understanding of a belief system. In this way, statuary goes beyond decoration. Instead, it seeks to connect us at all times with the forces that create, maintain, and reclaim the world we live in. As in Murthi worship, a large garden statue can give you a place to return to, to remind yourself of the presence of divinity in your life. By reconnecting with this in your everyday life, you can begin to see this presence everywhere and at all times.

From Bhagawan Krishna to Lord Nataraja, from Ganesha to Bhogashakti, there is a statue for every path.

  Q3. How does size influence our appreciation of a sculpture?

   

  Size in art matters because of its power to impact the way audiences respond. There's something about large-scale objects that affect 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.
