The most alluring feature of this statue is the way it is sculpted, keeping in mind even the minutest factors of adopting that perfect color combination of black and yellow-gold, gaps and shapes of the figures and the appropriate sizes with Lord Vishnu taking the lead by being formed in the largest size. All the figures are carved in extreme beauty, carrying their iconic attributes in perfection.
Starting from the top left side, the ten avatars are as follows: Kurma (half tortoise-half man)- during the time of Amrit Manthan, Kurma avatar supported the weight of the cosmos on his back; Lord Rama- one of the most prominent deities and a lead character of Ramayana who killed Ravana to establish morality; Vamana (dwarf Brahmin)- he comes to check the growing power of demon king Mahabali by tricking him and sending him to the underworld; Narasimha (half man-half lion)- he ended the reign of demon king Hiranya Kashyap and saved Prahlad to establish dharma on earth; Parshuram (sage with an axe in hand)- he ended the tyranny of evil Kshatriyas for the sake of justice and peaceful mankind.
Hayagriva (Horse headed)- he is the god of knowledge and wisdom, who in this incarnation killed the two demons Madhu and Kaitabha to return the stolen Vedas to Brahma; Varaha (half man-half boar)- he slayed the demon Hiranyakashyap to save Earth; Kalki- this avatar is yet to be born and will defeat the demon Kali (a personification of negativity) and start a new Satyuga; Lord Krishna- a major Hindu incarnation who ended the reign of Kansa; Matsya (half human-half fish)- he helps save all motile living beings, vedas and seeds of all plants to sustain life.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
