The carved stone sculpture shows a torso of a beautiful celestial maiden, or surasundari, who is an entertainer to the gods. Such sculptures adorn many medieval Indian temples both inside and out.The figure represents a headless standing female, full breasted, narrow-waisted and with large hips. The upper torso, frontally treated, is adorned with two necklaces, one short with a pendant extending down to the left hip and a long necklace made of beads. The lower part of the torso is turned slightly toward the figure's left with the left leg bent at the knee. The right leg remains straight giving the impression that the weight of the figure rests on it. Around the hips is a belt with pendants hanging over her tight skirt. She wears also a bicep ornament. The right hand is hanging down along the side of the body supporting a scarf that she was wearing across the shoulders. 

Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our stone sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by our craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability.

About Stone:  The stone used for our sculptures is the grey Udai stone which is a solid stone that is perfect for any type of location and weather conditions, hot or cold, wet or dry. The stone is versatile in that it can be colored in a wide spectrum of colors.  It can also be polished or unpolished giving it a clean or rough feel.  In humid conditions if it is left untouched it takes on a very mysterious, antique, worn look like you would see in the temple ruins of India.
