A stunning Hoysala style carving of the Hindu goddess of Wisdom, Saraswati. Saraswati was carved in the Hoysala style originated in Halebid, India. The style is very ornate as you can plainly see from the abundance of jewelry and other ornaments that cover the entire piece as well as the spiraling vines that swirl in and out of each other in the arch of the piece. The figure of Saraswati has two peacocks carved into the base she is standing on. A peacock is Saraswati's vehicle. In this sculpture Saraswati is playing the veena while holding a copy of the vedas and a string of prayer malas. Saraswati is surrounded by a total of 8 peacocks in the midst of vegetation plus the one directly above his head. Including the 2 peacocks on the base there is a total of 11 peacocks. There are two yali's standing on both sides of the base. A yali is a mythical beast that is a cross between a lion, an elephant and an alligator. Saraswati is standing on a pink triple lotus flower base. She is painted in the rich and vibrant colors of South India often seen on their elaborate gopuram structures in their temples. The gopurams are painted in vibrant colors which mirror the vibrant life of south India.

The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time.
