Each Nandi sculpture I create is a canvas for India's rich traditions, from Kalamkari motifs to Kashmiri aari patterns. These hand-painted wooden bulls are crafted to bring color and a touch of the sacred into your home.

This 7-inch Nandi Mukh features Kalamkari-inspired work, a style that requires immense patience. The design, with its delicate flowers and leaves, took ten days to complete, with double-layered paint to make the colors truly pop.

About The Nandi Collection: Sacred Bulls Reimagined

For these Nandi sculptures, I prioritize structural durability by using solid Neem, Shivani, or Mango wood. On my larger wall-mount pieces, you will notice the ears and horns are designed with a socket fit, meaning they detach easily for safe transit. When you receive your piece, you simply slot them into the main head, ensuring a secure and damage-free arrival.
