The Auspicious Divine Assemblage

Bring the divine presence of Lord Rama and his devoted companions into your home with this exquisite marble set. This collection captures the essence of devotion, righteousness, and unwavering loyalty, recreating the sacred Rama Durbar – the divine court of Lord Rama. Each sculpture is meticulously crafted from high-quality marble, showcasing a remarkable level of detail and artistic finesse. The figures are adorned with vibrant, hand-painted accents and intricate gold detailing, bringing them to life with a regal aura. The set features Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, known for his embodiment of dharma (righteousness) and his heroic exploits as chronicled in the epic Ramayana. He stands tall, exuding an air of serene authority and divine grace, his bow and arrow symbolizing his readiness to uphold justice and protect the virtuous. Beside him, the benevolent Goddess Sita, his eternal consort, embodies purity, devotion, and resilience. Her gentle demeanor and graceful posture reflect her unwavering love and commitment to Rama, even through immense trials. The presence of Lakshmana, Rama’s loyal younger brother, signifies the strength of fraternal bonds and selfless service. Lakshmana is depicted with a steadfast gaze, ever watchful and ready to defend his beloved brother. Completing this sacred ensemble is the mighty Hanuman, the vanara (monkey) deity renowned for his unparalleled devotion, strength, and intelligence. Hanuman’s posture, with folded hands in an attitude of humble adoration, speaks volumes of his profound love and service to Lord Rama. His inclusion in the Rama Durbar is a testament to the power of faith and the rewards of selfless dedication, as it was Hanuman who played a pivotal role in rescuing Sita and ensuring Rama's victory. This collection is more than just decorative; it is a spiritual centerpiece designed to inspire devotion and mindfulness in your sacred space. The cool, smooth texture of the marble combined with the vivid painted details creates a tactile and visual experience that draws you into the divine narrative. Displaying this Rama Durbar is believed to invite blessings of peace, prosperity, and harmony into your household. It serves as a constant reminder of the ideals of duty, courage, and unwavering faith that Lord Rama and his divine retinue represent.

A Symbol of Righteousness and Devotion

The Ramayana, the ancient Indian epic from which this divine assembly draws its inspiration, narrates the story of Lord Rama's virtuous life, his exile, and his epic battle against the demon king Ravana to rescue Sita. The Rama Durbar symbolizes the ideal kingdom – a place of justice, peace, and spiritual prosperity. Each character in this set embodies specific virtues. Rama is the epitome of the perfect king and son, Sita represents feminine strength and chastity, Lakshmana embodies selfless brotherhood, and Hanuman is the ultimate devotee. The use of marble for these sculptures connects them to a long tradition of artistic creation in India, often used for deities and sacred idols due to its purity and elegance. The intricate craftsmanship and the vibrant colors highlight the joyous and divine nature of this celestial court. Whether placed in a puja room, living area, or meditation space, this Rama Durbar set acts as a focal point for prayer, contemplation, and spiritual connection. It is an ideal gift for housewarmings, religious ceremonies, or for anyone seeking to imbue their life with the divine virtues represented by Lord Rama and his cherished companions.

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.
