Adorn your home with the serene presence of divine harmony embodied in these exquisitely crafted marble sculptures. These figures represent a potent symbol of prosperity, love, and cosmic order.

The Embodiment of Harmony and Prosperity

Each sculpture is meticulously carved from fine white marble, breathing life into the forms of Vishnu and Lakshmi, the eternal couple. Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, stands with a gentle, benevolent gaze. In one hand, he holds the Sudarshana Chakra, a symbol of cosmic order and dharma, and in another, the conch shell (Shankha) which represents the sacred sound 'Om' and the victory of good over evil. His posture exudes strength and serenity, embodying the protective and sustaining power of the divine. Beside him stands Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of abundance, beauty, and auspiciousness. Her serene smile radiates compassion and generosity. She holds a lotus bud, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and spiritual unfolding. Her presence brings forth prosperity and well-being. Together, they represent the ideal balance of power and grace, providing both spiritual and material well-being.

The Divine Couple in Hindu Mythology

Vishnu and Lakshmi are not merely deities but represent fundamental principles of existence. Their stories are woven into the fabric of Hindu mythology, conveying profound spiritual truths. Lakshmi emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthana), choosing Vishnu as her consort. This union symbolizes the harmonious co-existence of power and wealth, spirit and matter. Without Lakshmi, Vishnu's power would be incomplete, and without Vishnu, Lakshmi's wealth would lack purpose. The ten incarnations of Vishnu, known as the Dashavataras, are often accompanied by Lakshmi in different forms. For example, as Rama, Vishnu is accompanied by Lakshmi as Sita. And as Krishna, he is accompanied by Lakshmi as Radha. These incarnations represent the continual renewal of the universe and the triumph of righteousness. The stories of Vishnu and Lakshmi inspire devotees to cultivate virtues of compassion, integrity, and devotion.

The Art of Devotion: Marble Sculpture Details

These sculptures are more than just works of art; they are an expression of devotion. Each detail, from the delicate facial features to the flowing garments, has been carefully crafted to evoke a sense of reverence. The smooth, cool touch of the marble adds to the sense of serenity and connection to the divine. The intricate jewelry adorning both figures reflects the opulence of their divine status. The sculptures are designed to be placed side-by-side, symbolizing their inseparable bond. At approximately 1.4 feet tall, they create a focal point of serenity and beauty in any space. Whether placed on a mantelpiece, altar, or garden, these statues will serve as a constant reminder of the blessings of prosperity, love, and harmony. Invite the divine presence of Vishnu and Lakshmi into your home and let their energy fill your life with peace and abundance.

How to clean and maintain marble statues?

Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.

Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.

The simplest and basic way of cleaning a marble stone statue is to clear away dirt accumulated on the surface. Outdoor statues are especially prone to biological growth and dirt build-up that may take away their natural beauty. You may rinse the statue with warm water and mild soap to clean the dirt as much as possible. You can use a sponge or cotton cloth to scrape off dirt accumulated in crevices and cracks.

You must never allow water to stand on the surface of the statue for a long time. Standing water gets absorbed by the marble’s porous surface which results in its discoloration. Therefore, it is always recommended to dry-clean the statue with a towel or damp cloth.

Applying beeswax, a non-toxic product, on the surface of the marble statue offers protection against staining, dirt, and pollutants. It also polishes the surface and gives a natural shine to the statue.

Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.

Marble Mastery Unveiled: The Artisan's Symphony in Sculpting Timeless Beauty

Marble is a soft and delicate metamorphic rock derived from limestone. It is composed mainly of recrystallized carbonate minerals. The appealing appearance of marble gives rise to the making of beautiful sculptures and statues. Jaipur city of Rajasthan, India, is considered the capital of marble carving where various marble idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are made. These magnificent statues are carved by skilled sculptors out of the purest white marble. The slight softness of white marble makes it easier to be carved and chiseled into any desirable form or shape. Another impressive feature of marble is that the calcite has a low refractive index that allows light to penetrate the stone before getting scattered out. This results in bringing a translucent appearance and luster to the marble sculpture. This is the reason why most sculptors prefer to work with marble for sculpting life-size statues that require intricate details, evoking a certain realism to the work.

There is a detailed or step-by-step process of developing the desired structure of a sculpture from marble stone. These steps are:

1. Clay mould

Most sculptors prefer to sculpt a preliminary model out of clay or wax to translate its complex and intricate details into the final stone sculpture with the use of calipers or a pointing machine. The plasticity of the clay mould helps sculptors capture the success of the final sculpture before carving the stone. The clay is moulded into the desired shape or form and this acts as a rough

2. Roughing out

The second step of carving or sculpting is to remove large portions of unwanted marble stone. This task is done by using a special tool known as a point chisel. The pointed end of this tool is useful for splitting the large stone and removing big chunks that are not wanted. Usually, a mallet (a tool similar to a hammer) is used to transfer energy through the chisel to shatter the stone evenly and accurately.

3. Refining the figure

Once the sculptors have determined the general shape of the sculpture, a toothed chisel or claw chisel is used to refine the stone. These tools create parallel lines in the stone to add texture to the figure. During this stage, the rough block of stone has now changed into the general shape of the sculpture.

4. Adding the details

The sculptor is now ready to carry out detailed work to develop a more refined form of the sculpture. Tools such as rasps and rifflers are then used to enhance the shape into its final form. These tools finely create details such as frills or folds of clothing or locks of hair.

5. Polishing

This is the last step in marble sculpting in which the sculptor uses materials such as sandpaper to bring out a natural sheen to the sculpture. The sandpaper is rubbed against the surface to make it smoother and flawless. Sometimes, tin oxide is also used to make the sculpture appear glossy and more translucent.

Marble sculptures are highly durable and can last for many decades if maintained and taken care of properly. They are also extremely weather-resistant and therefore, can be kept outdoors or indoors. The exquisite beauty of marble statues elevates the aura of the space and emanates positivity all around.
