His greatest work remains Yogasutras, a text like no other. This text contains the entire essence of Yoga and details a very scientific and step by step path towards the attainment of Mukti (liberation). Yoga Sutras are considered the primary and authoritative text for any matter concerning Yoga. Other than that, Mahabhasya remains another exemplary output of his supremely brilliant mind. Patanjali is often mentioned as an incarnation of Sheshnag, thus illustrated as a half-human, half-snake.

This statue too captures the supreme Yogi Patanjali in his traditional form. While the upper half of his body is that of a human, his lower body is enveloped in thick folds of a seven-headed serpent. This serpent rises above his body, forming a shade upon his head, adding to the divine aura of the statue. Holding his hands together, Patanjali embodies great devotion and feeling of gratefulness. The statue has been carved delicately and the colours are enchanting too. Along with yogi Patanjali, this statue stands for the central message of Yoga, its true essence.
