It is amazing where the internet takes you!.... Yesterday, while researching something on Lord Ganesha, the pot-bellied, sweet-loving Hindu deity who rides a rat (and happens to be one of my favourites from the divine family), I came across the Lotus Sculpture site.
By its own admission, Lotus Sculpture claims to be one of the finest proponents of “hand made statues of Hindu Gods and the Buddha”, and the visuals on their web pages stand testimony to that. Lotus Sculpture imports sculptures that are brought to life by artisans in south India, Bangladesh and Thailand.
Their warehouse is located in Connecticut and it is owned by the amazing Kyle Tortora. Go here to read more about him and his travels, especially to the parts of Asia from where he sources his statues and sculptures.
The Lotus Sculpture site also has a mine of information for the casual reader, and I admit (a trifle sheepishly, given my Indian roots) that I learnt quite a few mythological tales from here that I would have never known otherwise….
I thought of posting some of my favourites from the fabulous collection at Lotus Sculpture. Happy drooling, everyone!
