Special Comments

The mentioned weight is approximate as this is a large statue involving much artistic effort and the artists didn't weigh the statue after creation. However, the weight is estimated in relation to the size of the sculpture by their creators, who are very experienced, so the mentioned weight is close to actual.

This statue is of significant size, so it is created hollow. It already weighs much and if it were created solid that would have not only increased the weight of the sculpture unnecessarily, but it also be much cumbersome to move the sculpture.

The dimensions mentioned above are that of Vishnu, the central statue. Dimensions of each of Sri and Bhu devi statues in Inches are: 11 x 10 x 32 (L x B x H)

Weight mentioned above is the total weight of three statues. Separate weights of the three statues are mentioned below:Vishnu: 42 Kgs
Sri and Bhu devi: 24 Kgs each

Description

A very traditional bronze set of Vishnu with Sri Devi and Bhu Devi in Chola style. This is a classic bronze statue of Vishnu with his two consorts, Sri Devi (goddess Lakshmi) and Bhu Devi (goddess Earth).

While Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth that provides pleasures of existence, Bhu or Bhumi provides nourishment and home to humanity. They are regarded as mothers to the living beings in that no being could survive without either Sri or Bhu.

Both Sri Devi and Bhu Devi are energies of Vishnu who he employs in sustaining the beings of all the worlds as their preserver. Vishnu is the master and protector of Lakshmi and Bhumi and their husband thus.

As seen in this excellent bronze sculpture set, Lakshmi is to Vishnu’s right whereas Bhu Devi is seen to his left, both with a flower in one hand and the other dangling in artistic, feminine grace. Vishnu stands in between holding Shankha (conch) and Chakra (disc) which are his emblems he holds in his left and right hands respectively.

Vishnu’s Chakra is called Sudarshana. Vishwakarma (the architect of gods) fashioned it with shavings obtained when he grated Surya (sun) on his divine lathe to reduce his glare. Chakra is a powerful weapon that is Time personified. Vishnu bears it on the index finger of his right hand and it revolves and launches at his will. Sudarshana Chakra never misses its target and returns to Vishnu only after destroying it when released.

Panchjanya  is the name of Vishnu’s shankha. It is the personification of the Vedas, conceived as pure-white in indication of its sacredness and purity. Vishnu blows it when attacking the demons sending down shivers amongst them. Flames around Shankha and Chakra are indicative of their aura and divinity.

Vishnu is seen wearing priceless jewels and crown that signify his royalty as the mater of all the worlds. The beautiful crocodile shaped earrings he wears are specifically called Makara Kundala.

Vishnu bears the auspicious Srivatsa mark on his chest near his right shoulder (notice the small triangular mark). Vishnu bears this with reverence since Lord Shiva who is extremely dear to Vishnu caused it. This happened when Shiva used his trident during a duel between him and sage Narayana (who was an incarnation of Vishnu).

Vishnu’s right hand is raised in Abhaya Mudra (assurance or granting fearlessness) and left extends and rests near his waist in Katyavalambita Mudra. The fine, rich yellow silk Vishnu wears, called Pitambara (yellow cloth) is held with a beautiful, richly carved belt he wears around his waist. Vishnu with Sri and Bhu was one of the traditional subjects in Chola metal sculpture art.

I purchased a Japanese woodblock print from the excellent selection that Cottage9 has. The print was sent carefully packaged and the service that I received was first rate. They were always attentive to my questions and provided a high level of customer care. I will be returning for future purchases.

I have a great love of the unique devotional art from India: over many trips there, as well as from purchases from reputable online sites, I now enjoy a small collection of paintings & sculpture in my home. Since I had first seen them, though, lost-wax sculptures of gods & goddesses - with their graceful limbs holding symbolic articles, with a fresh vitality & lovely facial expressions - had particularly captured my heart. For many years I had searched, in India & online, for one image in particular: that of Sri Rama. Even in India this is not easy to find. One day I did an online search, not expecting much result. Yet at a site in India called Cottage9, I saw a beautiful brass lost-wax of Sri Rama with all the elements I wished for: a graceful yet strong demeanor, holding a separate bow in his hand; with a noble & kind expression. Alas, it had already been sold; lost-wax images are by definition one-of-a-kind. When I inquired, I was told that I could commission another murti of Sri Ram; while of course no lost-wax sculpture can be duplicated, I was assured it would be of the same high quality. This was taking a risk; there was no way to know what the finished sculpture would look like. The person with whom I was interacting, Mr. Gupta, sent me an article describing not only each step, with photos, of creating a lost-wax bronze sculpture (Mr. Gupta patiently answered all my questions about materials, concluding that bronze was generally considered the best metal in lost-wax sculpting), yet also describing the prayer and meditation that each artist undertakes before creating an image of the Divine. Mr. Gupta thoroughly answered several other questions; I even sent some photos of the Murtis which would also be on the altar. After these conversations I felt ready to commission the sculpture. Most imprortantly, I felt Mr. Gupta understood how meaningful this was for me, saying that he would personally watch over the production of the murti. All of the arrangements with Cottage9 were clearly explained and smoothly completed. And, while an investment - comparative to other sites at which I have purchased this intricately produced art, I felt the price was quite reasonable. The creation of the sculpture took between 2-3 months; when the murti arrived, it was packed extremely well in a sealed wooden crate; its journey from India to the U.S. was completed without mishap. And the Sri Rama murti was indeed very beautiful & everything I could have hoped for. I would unhesitatingly recommend Cottage9 if one is looking for authentic, beautiful artwork from India.
