About this collection
These panels are substantial, weighing between 15kg and 40kg, and require secure installation. We mount them using reinforced metal brackets, like French cleats or double keyholes, to ensure they sit flush against your wall. Because these are solid wood, we recommend choosing a wall with structural integrity to handle the weight of these narrative pieces.
Crafting a Story in Wood
Each narrative panel is an extensive project, often requiring weeks of labor. We utilize seasoned Vaagai or Rain Tree wood, known for durability and a fine grain that takes detail well. Our carving process varies based on the level of depth you prefer. Standard relief offers clear, raised figures attached to the background, suitable for clean, classic visuals. For those seeking depth, we offer high relief carving, where we create undercuts that allow fingers to pass behind the figures, adding a three-dimensional quality to scenes like the Meenakshi Thirukalyanam.
Choosing Your Finish
- Natural Wood: Shows the raw beauty of the grain and the honesty of the chisel marks. Perfect for traditional, warm interiors.
- Antique Brown: A darker, treated finish that highlights the definition in the carving, ideal for adding contrast to lighter walls.
- Multicolor: A hand-painted finish that brings specific mythological elements to life, often used for vibrant puja rooms or statement entryways.
Installation and Shipping
We understand that transporting a 4-to-6-foot carving requires care. Every large panel is shipped in a custom-built wooden crate to protect the intricate details during transit. Once it reaches you, the pre-drilled metal mounting hardware makes the installation straightforward, but given the weight, we always advise having a professional carpenter assist with placement on your wall. Whether you are looking to install a central piece in your living room or a grand entrance feature, these panels bring a permanent piece of our Thammampatty legacy to your home.
