Panel showing the Buddha preaching between two Bodhisattvas. The Buddha sits, the drapery folding grooved and paired. The head is globular and the wavy hair forms successive bands from ear to ear into the uṣṇīṣa, which is secured by a fillet. The face is flat, the eyes long and oblique with heavy projecting lids. The ears are close to the head and the ūrṇā a large incised circle. The thumb and index finger of the lower hand join and touch the bottom of the upper hand; the other fingers bend inwards but also join the bottom of the upper hand. The Buddha's seat has radiating stamens and centrally grooved, double-outlined petals. Behind the Buddha, in low relief, is a plain rectangular throne back with a large halo above.

Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our stone sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by our craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability.

About Stone:  The stone used for our sculptures is the grey Udai stone which is a solid stone that is perfect for any type of location and weather conditions, hot or cold, wet or dry. The stone is versatile in that it can be colored in a wide spectrum of colors.  It can also be polished or unpolished giving it a clean or rough feel.  In humid conditions if it is left untouched it takes on a very mysterious, antique, worn look like you would see in the temple ruins of India.
