Hindu religion has a specific and respectable place for wooden statues and sculptures of the Hindu God. It is considered spiritual at almost every Hindu home and temples.

It is basically a symbolic icon. However, merely a Hindu Wooden Statue or sculpture is itself not a God in Hinduism but it is a shape, embodiment of a deity. The sculpture tradition is highly celebrated in Hinduism. In other religion also sculptures are worshipped as a Lord icon. In Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity tradition, statues are worshipped. But in Hindu, it is vastly prominent.

Wood carving is an ancient art form which is adapted in current times with a twist of modern influence. And it is loved by all.

The process of carving the wood and then turning into statues or sculptures is one beautiful and relaxing thing to watch. Although difficult and a long task it is and needs a lot of patience, but appreciated by many.

There was a time when this was chosen as a way of earning bread and butter. Nowadays it has been introduced as a hobby class and lot more are interested in this lovely art form.

However, in today’s time, many mentors have come forward to sustain the livelihood of these artists and Indian culture by motivating people to purchase and spreading information about the sculptures. Vedicrococo.com is one of them doing good in the area.

When we talk about specifically God’s statue or Murti, it is created by carving wood or other items like stone or metal. Turning back to the ancient era, we can find the making descriptions in detail including their positions and gestures as well.

Murti’s expression is one thing hard to create and thus it is considered a difficult form of Art. The people who could make it brilliantly was regarded as artisans. Even now the modern artist is transforming the ancient carving to modern art in a fabulous way. Perhaps this is the only way to treasure the treasure of India’s Art and artisans.

India has a rich history of wood carving. India is blooming when it comes to soft and hardwoods and each of them are entirely different from one another. It is because this country is climatically diverse.  

Different the regions are, different are the speciality of wood carving.

Beautifully carved thrones in peacock shape in Assam is known as Kirtanghar. In Uttar Pradesh has its own style, Gujarat also comes in mesmerizing carving of wood.

In Tamil Nadu wood carvings come in a huge variety like animals, dance forms, God, mythological creatures and so many magnificent postures of the carvings. Peacocks, most worshipped Hindu God Statues like Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Vishnu and Avatars are few statues which are most highly demanded in the entire country.

In this topic, Dravidian Art form cannot be ignored. Mesmerizing outcome of this art is awe-inspiring.  

The rise of Dravidian form was surrounded around Southern India. Thousand years ago, it evolved in South India and was patronized by the Kingdoms of Pallava, Cholas, Pandavas, Chalukya, etc.

Dravidian architecture is amazingly well defined. Unlike other temples, temples of Dravidian Art form has towers of various shapes towers of different shapes like rectangular, square, four-sided, star-shaped, etc.

The Dravidian Art form received guardianship of the Cholas. Some mighty temples like Thanjavur Temple and Brihadeshvara Temple were made under the support of the Chola Kings.

Western Chalukya sculpture follows the Dravidian Art. In this period, temples were made in a massive amount. These are turning out to be impeccable examples of Dravidian architecture.

Jaina Narayana temple at Pattadakat, Ellora Caves by Rashtrakutas, and others followed the Dravidian Art.
