Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Eleathea wrote, and my question is for Latha: It'slike we're covered in layers of mud Dear Latha, speaking of mud, I have heard that Shree Maa has made all the statuettes of the dieties at the Devi Mandir ~ that they were made of a combination of straw and mud. I would really like to know more about the process that Shree Maa uses to create these figures of divinity (and, of course, we all know, that, once created, through a special ritual, the essences of that divinity is called to reside within the divinity. I have been curious about this for a long time and wanted to make my own, since I can't afford the more expensively produced statuettes that are available from many sources. My Shiva Nataraj, which, by the way, I love, is actually a candle holder. It is small, maybe 8 inches in height with the candle coming out of the top of Shiva's head. I love lighting the candle, and "listening" to see which color Shiva would like when I put in a new one. Shanti ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
