The “good warrior”- Veerabhadra is a manifestation of Shiva’s wrath, born from his Jata (hair locks). According to Shiva Purana and other sources, when Shiva heard the incident of Sati’s self-immolation, she was filled with rage and plucked a strand of his Jata and threw it on one of the rocks. With the mighty force of Shiva, the Jata split in two, one originating goddess Mahakali and the other becoming Veerabhadra.

With the blessings of Shiva, Veerabhdara with Kali entered Daksha (Sati’s father’s palace, where Sati had left the mortal world) and destroyed the entire space, vanquishing and quelling anyone who bore witness to the disrespect and immolation of Sati. Popular in South Indian traditions as a protector and guardian of sacred space and people, Veerabhadra or Veerabhdreswhara has several shrines dedicated to him.

This two-feet granite statue represents the valor and virtue of Veerabhadra by depicting him as a four-armed warrior, with a Jatamukuta (crown of tresses), Tripunda on forehead ornaments and a short dhoti associating him with Shiva.

Embodiment of Fierce Devotion: Virabhadra Stone Sculpture

Crafted from resilient granite stone, this commanding statue captures the essence of Virabhadra, a formidable emanation of Lord Shiva. Standing at an impressive 32 inches, this sculpture is a testament to the enduring power and artistic mastery of ancient Indian craftsmanship. The deep, rich tones of the granite lend a timeless gravitas to the depiction, making it a focal point of reverence and awe.

The Tale of Virabhadra's Birth

The legend of Virabhadra is deeply intertwined with the epic narrative of the Daksha Yaga. When Sati, the daughter of Daksha and the beloved wife of Shiva, immolated herself in protest of her father's disrespect towards her husband, Lord Shiva's grief and rage knew no bounds. In his cosmic fury, he plucked a hair from his matted locks and threw it to the ground. From this act of divine wrath, Virabhadra was born. He was a warrior of immense power, created specifically to carry out Shiva's vengeance upon Daksha and his assembled guests. Virabhadra, with his fearsome form and unwavering loyalty, stormed the sacrificial arena, beheading Daksha and wreaking havoc, thus restoring Shiva's honor.

An Icon of Strength and Protection

Virabhadra is revered as a symbol of righteous anger, the protector of devotees, and a force against evil. His fierce countenance and the weapons he wield represent his role as a divine warrior who eliminates obstacles and vanquishes negativity. This sculpture, with its intricate detailing and robust form, embodies this protective aspect. The powerful stance and the commanding gaze speak of an ever-vigilant guardian, ready to defend against all that threatens dharma. Placing such a statue in one's home or garden is believed to invite blessings of courage, strength, and protection, warding off ill fortune and fostering an atmosphere of spiritual security. The choice of granite as the material further emphasizes durability and permanence, mirroring the eternal nature of divine protection.
