The Serene Presence of Lord Parshvanatha

Invite tranquility and spiritual grace into your sacred space with this exquisite white marble statue of Lord Parshvanatha. Meticulously handcrafted, this radiant moorti embodies the profound teachings and peaceful demeanor of the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism. The cool, pure white marble, sourced with care, lends an aura of purity and divinity to this remarkable piece, making it a focal point of devotion and contemplation. Lord Parshvanatha, also known as Parasnath, is revered for his unwavering commitment to non-violence (ahimsa) and his ascetics journey. Legend tells of his encounter with the demon Kamat, who attempted to disrupt his intense meditation. Parshvanatha remained steadfast, his serenity unperturbed. In many depictions, a multi-headed serpent, Naga, is shown shielding him from the elements, symbolizing divine protection and the power of inner peace to overcome any adversity. This statue captures that very essence – the unshakeable calm and profound wisdom that defined his life. The striking golden accents adorning his headband and the delicate detail on his chest further enhance the regal and divine presence of the deity.

A Masterpiece of Artisanal Craftsmanship

Each curve and contour of this statue is a testament to the skill and dedication of our master artisans. Carved from a single piece of high-quality white marble, the statue exhibits a smooth, polished finish that feels cool and soothing to the touch. The serene expression on Lord Parshvanatha's face, with its gentle smile and downcast eyes, invites introspection and inner peace. The carefully rendered details, from the delicate lines of his benevolent gaze to the peaceful placement of his hands in a meditative pose, speak of a deep understanding and reverence for the subject. The traditional depiction of the deity, seated in a lotus posture, symbolizes spiritual elevation and enlightenment. The subtle hints of gold paint used for embellishments add a touch of divine splendor, highlighting key features without overpowering the inherent purity of the marble.

Symbolism and Devotion

The base of the statue is adorned with traditional motifs and a depiction that likely represents the lion, the vahana (vehicle) of Lord Parshvanatha, reinforcing his identity and lineage. This intricate detailing not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a reminder of the rich iconography and symbolism embedded within Jain tradition. This statue is more than just a decorative item; it is a conduit for spiritual connection. Placing it in your home mandir or puja room offers a constant reminder of the principles of Jainism: ahimsa, satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-possession). It is an ideal piece for daily prayers, meditation, or simply to imbue your living space with an atmosphere of peace and spiritual awareness. This handmade creation is designed to be a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, carrying with it the blessings and teachings of Lord Parshvanatha.

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.
