We strictly follow traditional Shilpa Shastra iconometry, ensuring that the proportions, mudras, and expressions of deities like Lord Murugan or Shiva are precise and respectful. Your piece arrives with the official GI-certified tag from Thammampatty, guaranteeing its authentic origin. For generations, artisans in Thammampatty have served as custodians of South Indian temple sculpture. When we carve a Sacred Guardian, such as Lord Murugan with his Vel or Lord Hanuman in his meditative stance, we utilize the same hand-carving methods our ancestors perfected. ### Materials and Longevity We use seasoned hardwood, primarily Vagai, which is known for being termite-resistant and stable. Whether you choose a 24-inch Murugan statue with a natural wax finish or an antique-style Shiva, the wood is treated to maintain its integrity. The deep relief and 3D carving techniques allow for intricate details, such as the feathers on a peacock or the specific ornaments on a deity, which are smoothed by hand rather than by machine. ### Finishes and Presentation Our statues come in two primary styles: * Natural Wax Brown: A matte, earthy finish that highlights the raw grain of the timber. * Antique Hand-Painted: A multi-layered look that adds depth and character, ideal for those who prefer an ornate, traditional aesthetic. Each statue is packed in a custom wooden crate for safe shipping. As a workshop committed to quality, we carve every piece specifically for your order. We recommend keeping the sculpture away from direct moisture and dusting it periodically with a dry, soft cloth to maintain the polish of the wood. ## About Sengottuvel We are the families of Thammampatty, where carving is a hundred-year-old heritage. When we work on these forms, whether it is Murugan, Hanuman, or Shiva, we feel the weight of our ancestors in every chisel stroke. Our workshop brings these divine guardians from our village directly to your home.
