About this collection
Every panel arrives ready for your wall with heavy-duty keyhole hooks routed directly into the back, so you do not need a carpenter to mount them. Whether you choose the raw natural wood finish or our hand-painted multicolored style, the wood is chemically treated against termites. This ensures your chosen mythological scene remains a permanent fixture in your home rather than a temporary decoration.
Our work bridges the gap between ancient temple architecture and modern home decor. In Thammampatty, we practice a heritage craft that has remained unchanged for over a century. When we carve a Dasavatharam or Gajalakshmi panel, we follow a strict artistic canon used in temple sculpture, ensuring proper posture and proportions for every deity.
Material and Longevity
We primarily use seasoned Vaagai or Rain Tree wood. This choice is about more than tradition; it is about density and weight. Each piece undergoes chemical treatment to prevent termite damage, which is critical for wall art in humid Indian climates.
Finish and Detail
You can choose between deep relief carving for a dramatic 3D effect or standard relief where the figures sit closer to the background. For those who want the look of ancient stone but the warmth of wood, our antique brown polish is a popular choice. For vibrant, modern interiors, our multicolored panels use traditional pigments that highlight the intricate jewelry and expressions on each deity.
Choosing Your Piece
Whether you need a 2-foot centerpiece for your puja room or a 6-foot narrative panel for an entryway, we ensure the weight is balanced for structural safety. Our large-scale narrative panels, such as the Meenakshi Thirukalyanam or Dasavatharam, are constructed using traditional interlocking joinery, allowing us to create massive 6-foot-plus pieces that remain structurally sound.
