## Meet your expert

### My story

We are Sengottuvel Wood Carvings, straight from Thammampatty. Our hands know this wood like an old friend. Every morning starts with sharpening chisels, not rushing, just finding the groove. We don’t just make sculptures – we carry our ancestors in every curve. GI tag? That’s proof, not a show-off. If you hold one of our panels, you’re holding a bit of us, a bit of Thammampatty, a carved memory really.

### My work

- **Handcrafted Temple-Inspired Sculptures**: We make GI-certified wooden idols, large panels, Yaali brackets, and custom wooden door entrances in natural or hand-painted antique finishes.
- **Authenticity from Thammampatty**: Each piece shows our region’s GI tag, real proof of South Indian temple sculpture tradition.
- **Traditional Craft Process**: From tool sharpening to final sanding, we work on pieces from tiny idols to 7-foot panels, all with realism.
- **Shipping Worldwide**: We ship our heritage anywhere, so you can have a Sengottuvel carving wherever you live.
