Originating from the form of Mahadevi Parvati, Sri Ganesha embodies universal auspiciousness. His divine aura can enliven any space, which is why he continues to be the favorite god, who is placed not only in the Puja ghar of a Hindu household but also in different angels and corners so that the powers of Ganapati guard the entire home. These wooden panels are carved meticulously and empowered by the images of the elephant-faced god, playing various musical instruments, infusing in the environment a mystical sweetness.
Lotus leaf motifs encircle the icons, which are adorned by a Kirtimukha on top and placed on individual lotus platforms on the background of which are blooming vines. Immersed in creating heavenly tunes, Ganesha as a divine musician in this artwork will enchant you every time you behold his exquisiteness.
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.
