The iconographic and scriptural record of Indian sacred art.
Iconography
A complete guide to the forms, attributes, and scriptural authority of the most beloved deity
Ganesha appears in thirty-two classical forms in the Shilpa Shastra texts. Each has a specific posture, a specific number of arms, specific mudras, and a specific iconometric proportion. This is a guide to the forms this house produces and the scripture that defines them.
Shilpa Shastra
What it is, why it matters, and why no luxury brand has used it, until now
The Shilpa Shastra is the ancient Indian canon of sacred architecture and iconometry. Written between the 5th and 12th centuries CE, it prescribes the exact proportions of every sacred form. Every piece this house produces is verified against it.
Consecration
The act of consecration explained: what happens in the rite, and why it transforms an object
Prana Pratishtha is the Vedic rite by which a cast idol becomes a living deity. Performed by a qualified Pandit using mantras from the Agama Shastra. This is what this house does for every piece it sells, and why a certificate is issued.
