The beautiful figure of Lord Shiva, on e of the Trinity, the other two being Lord Vishnu and Brahma, is crafted out of the traditional dhokra technique using the lost wax method. The figure is heavily ornate and the refine carvings on it plus the ornaments make the Lord a paradigm of beauty and sculptural excellence. Lost wax is a laborious technique.
First, a model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun; it is then covered with beeswax and more clay, forming a mold. The piece is cast, cleaned and again dried in the sun. Finally, it is heated in the ground for five days and polished.
