In the Hindu cosmos, the zenith of regal, divine, and human qualities combine to form the character of the virtuous Sri Rama, king of Ayodhya and the upholder of dharma (moral order). Celebrating his victory over Ravana and his return to his Praja (subjects) a Rama Darbaar- court of Sri Rama has become the symbol of auspiciousness, divine presence, and benevolence of the Lord in one's home.
Carrying the might and affectionate gaze of Sri Rama and turning us into his devoted subjects, this exquisite wood statue brings us the glory of Rama Darbaar. On a dark and lacquered wooden platform, Rama-Sita and Lakshaman stand with tasteful poise in their postures, beautified by regal ornaments. Close to Sri Rama, Lord Hanuman with meticulous detailing on his haired skin sits with his hands in the mudra of Namaskara, bowing down to the greatness of Avadhapati.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
