Aromatic Divinity
Crafted from the fragrant heartwood of sandalwood, this statue emanates a subtle, sweet aroma that has been cherished for centuries for its calming and purifying properties. Sandalwood has a long and revered history in Hindu traditions, and has been used for centuries in religious ceremonies, meditation practices, and the creation of sacred objects. The act of carving sandalwood is considered a spiritual practice in itself. The natural oils within the wood are believed to retain the energy of the artisan, making each piece not just a work of art, but a conduit for devotion.
