The advantage of brass is that it can be placed indoors or outdoors without fear of corrosion. At Shikara, we are happy to have found brass craftsmen who can reproduce some of the classic bronze sculptures of the Chola period(around 9th and 10th centuries), examples of which are only found in museums these days.
Our brass pieces are high quality castings with individual tooling and shaping to make each piece a unique classic.
Buddha, Dancing Shiva and Ganesha, Parvarti, Kali and Tara, as well as other Tibetan classics from Nepal to create an altar, inspiration or purely to add a touch of the mystic to the home or office. We are creating statues made from bronze/brass from 10cms up to 2 metres. We also have a wide range of mythological creatures, elephants, tigers, camels and other animals as well as brass door fittings, handles, horns, bells and singing bowls., Hindu mythology is full of colourful and powerful images. There are literally thousands of deities who are invoked at some stage in prayer and meditation to bring the seeker closer to the Source.
At Shikara Design we have a huge collection of Indian and Tibetan deities, from the very small to the extremely large, in marble, sandstone wood and brass. All the major deities are featured with a lot of focus on the many forms of Shiva, or as Nataraj the joyful Lord of the universal dance, and Ardnarishvara…half man half woman. Vishnu and Brahma complete the triad of great gods.
And Ganesh – the elephant headed remover of obstacles
No traditional Hindu will embark upon a new project without invoking Ganesha, for it is he, as Vigneshwara, prime mover of obstacles, who clears the path to success.
Krishna and Arjuna and the great monkey god Hanuman, son of the Wind are all featured in our collection along with their feminine consorts. |
