Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Dear Family and fellow sadhakas, I am spending a month in India with an artisan who makes stupendous statues of Gods and Goddesses. It is an amazing experience but it will take me longer than 8 months to learn the art!!! I wanted to share this with all my friends in groups especially the stunning statues. I will put it up on a web site... (if I can get to the internet cafe again, and stall off the bhaiyyas peering over my shoulder!!). If anyone is interested in any of these contact me by email and I can organise something. I have got the most amazing statues of Kali. Bhairon Durga, Chamunda,Tara devi in various postures, Buddha, Maya Devi. There is a most magical Bhairav temple here which is more than 2000 years old and the statue in the temple is 20 feet high, the artists statue made in bronze or brass is identical version but smaller ofcourse. This week he is starting on the Dasa mahavidyas for me!! I just wanted to share this with my group family!!! Kallikaputri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 If I could put in requests, I've been on the llookout for <murthies> of... Heramba Ganapati (Ganesha with 5-faces, and riding a lion) Matangi (the "outcaste" Maha-Vidya) Varahi (the Matrika with a boar's head) Dakshinamurti Shiva (the silent Guru with "big hair") I would love to see the statues, and get an idea of thier size and what they cost! Of your list below, espcially interested in Chamunda and the specialized Durgas.
