A symbol of devotion and dedication of the ancient Indian sculptors and architects is the Vijaya Vittala or Vittala Temple of Hampi, famed the world over for its magnificent and mammoth chariots or Rathas.
What might appear as a monolithic granite construction in the Hampi chariot, is a carefully pieced-together architecture, in which every part is attached so brilliantly that the bolts and attachments are not visible.
An 11-foot large representation of the gigantic chariot in granite brings the architectural perfection of the Vijayanagar empire to your space.
The humongous size of the actual temple gets translated in this reproduction, which itself boasts a life-size construction, with an awesome Shikhara, pillars, base, and huge granite wheels of both sizes.
The feat of carrying, cutting, and assembling the hard granite rock is an extremely tedious task, one that requires the precious skills possessed by the ancient Shilpis of Vijayanagar. As the descendants of those marvel-makers, the modern stone artists of this masterpiece have bent stone to their will, vision, and strokes of their hammer to craft an abode fit for the divine.
