About this collection
Our Nandi statues are carved from solid blocks of granite and Krishna Shila, each piece carrying the weight and texture of genuine stone. Whether it is a single guardian for your garden or our signature Jodi Nandi twin set, these are finished with fine chiseling that captures traditional temple jewelry detailing—something you can truly appreciate when the light catches the stone’s surface.
At the heart of our work is the concept of kai kelasa (handiwork). When you select a Nandi for your home, you are not just picking a piece of decor; you are choosing a guardian inspired by Hoysala and Chalukya temple traditions. Many of our Nandi figures, particularly our twin Jodi Nandi sets, are carved from single blocks of stone. This process requires immense patience and precision, as every chisel mark is permanent.
We prioritize high-density materials like Krishna Shila and durable granite, making these statues suitable for both indoor pooja rooms and outdoor gardens. Over time, these stones develop a character of their own, especially when exposed to the elements. If you visit our Anjanapura space, you can feel the difference between the rough, rustic textures of our garden pieces and the smoother, oil-polished finishes we prepare for interior display.
Whether you need a compact piece for a tabletop or a larger guardian to place near an entrance, we guide you through the choice of stone and size to ensure it fits the energy of your space.
