Devi Saraswati Seated upon a beautiful peacock.The Goddess of wisdom Devi Saraswati is known as Hamsavahini - She who rides on a swan, Sometimes She is represented as Mayurvahini - peacock riding Goddess. The peacock represents arrogance and pride over its beauty, and by having a peacock as her mount, the Goddess teaches us not to be concerned with external appearance and to be wise regarding the eternal truth.
The close association of Shiva and Nandi explains the presence of a statue of Nandi at the gate of many temples dedicated to Siva. There are some nice designs on its back.
According to Some Puranic traditions, Nandi was born out of the right side of Vishnu resembling Shiva exactly and he was later given as a son to the sage Salankayana.
It was Nandi who cursed the demon King of Lanka, Ravana, that his kingdom would be burnt by a monkey and later Hanuman burnt Lanka.
There is an interesting anecdote about Nandi in one Puranic tradition. Once Nandi officiated as an empire while Shiva and Parvati were playing a game of dice. Though Siva lost the game, Nandi declared his master as the winner. An indignant Parvati cursed him that he should die from an incurable disease. Following incessant appeal from Nandi Parvathi forgave him. She said: The Chaturdasi day in the month of Bhadrapada is the day when my son's birthday is celebrated. On that day you have to offer to my son what pleases you most (green grass). We may atone for our sins if we offer our favourite thing to the to the Lord. For Nandi the most enjoyable and relishing food is green grass. As directed by Parvathi Nandi worshipped Ganapathi by offering green grass. Nandi was then relieved of his dreaded disease.

The beautiful brass figure of Lord Shiva performing his cosmic dance is given a refine and detail treatment. Nataraja (The King of Dance) is the dancing posture of the Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of his divine duties of creation and destruction. The Lord Shiva is shown here dancing in a circle of flames, lifting his left leg and balancing over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance.
The upper right hand holds a small drum shaped like an hourglass that is called a damaru in Sanskrit. It is called Dhamarukha in Hindi. A specific hand gesture (mudra) is used to hold the drum. It symbolizes sound originating Creation.
The upper left hand contains Agni or fire, which signifies destruction. The opposing concepts in the upper hands show the counterpoise of creation and destruction.
The second right hand shows the Abhaya mudra (meaning fearlessness in Sanskrit), bestowing protection from both evil and ignorance to those who follow the righteousness of dharma.
The second left hand points towards the raised foot, which signifies uplift and salvation. The hand also symbolises the trunk of the elephant-headed Ganesha, son of Shiva, known as the remover of obstacles and a symbol of strength.
The dwarf on which Nataraja dances, is the demon Apasmara, which symbolises Shiva's victory over ignorance.
As the Lord of Dance, Nataraja, Shiva performs the tandava, the dance in which the universe is created, maintained, and resolved. Shiva's long, matted tresses, usually piled up in a knot, loosen during the dance and crash into the heavenly bodies, knocking them off course or destroying them utterly.
The surrounding flames represent the manifest Universe.
The snake swirling around his waist is kundalini, the Shakti or divine force thought to reside within everything.
Crystal embellishment along with crystal coloured stones and golden finish makes the desktop product a piece of beauty and joy. Aum is a sacred syllable in the Indian religions, including Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The sacred symbol is placed at the beginning of most Hindu texts as a sacred exclamation to be uttered at the beginning and end of a reading of the Vedas or previously to any prayer or mantra. The Mandukya Upanishad is entirely devoted to the explanation of OM. The syllable is taken to consist of three phonemes, a, u and m, variously symbolizing the Three Vedas or the Hindu Trimurti.( Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar) The syllable denotes the eternal process of birth, life, death and rebirth, and life incarnate. It is the universal symbol of Creation. Its four parts represent the four stages of consciousness: Awake, sleeping, dreaming, and the transcendental state.

The calm and quite image of Lord Shiva is nicely carved out of brass by the sculptor. He is regarded as the representation of the Supreme Being. He is known as the third element in the Hindu Trinity (Trimurti), the other two members being Lord Brahma - the creator and Lord Vishnu - the protector. Shiva is the destructive form of the Almighty. As the cycle of destruction and recreation is always in a circle, Shiva's primary responsibility is maintaining the life cycle.

Madhubani painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani (the literal meaning of which is forests of honey) and other areas of Mithila.

In this spectacular brass figure ancient dhokra technique is applied in a most intricate manner. The lion is crafted with a deep sense of finesse and refinement. Precision of a surgeon is manifest here. Dhokra is a very old technique of casting figures. Literally meaning old, dhokra is a laborious lost wax process practiced in north Indian region of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. In this technique, first a model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun. Then it is covered with beeswax and more clay and a mold is formed. The piece is cast, cleaned and again dried in the sun. Finally, it is heated in the ground for five days and polished.
Rose is the queen of all flowers and the beautiful wall hanging chrysalises all the elements of a beautiful Rose. Extraordinary embroidery works, bright beads and sparkling sequins mark the beautiful wall hanging that retains the rich tradition of Gujarati patchwork. Rich traditions of wall hanging are carried from generations to generations with subsequent changes. The borders of the wall hanging are marked rose in a beautiful manner.
The spectacular Madhubani painting portrays the local version of a well-known story from Purana.
Once, both gods and demons fell short of the elixir or Amrita and some other precious things to reappear after the recreation of the universe. The gods sought the assistance of the demons for churning of the ocean of milk, which would bring forth these treasures. They offered them an equal share of the Amrita.
The demons agreed and helped the gods to tear up the Mount Madura to use as a churning stick. The serpent King Vasuki comes from his underwater abode to be used as a churning rope. The gods took the tail end and the demons pulled from the head. As the churning continued, Vasuki's breath grew very hot and the demons almost suffocated.
But when Vasuki started vomiting a poison that threatened to contaminate the ocean of milk and the Amrita, Shiva took it in his mouth, where it turned his throat blue. (This is why Lord Shiva is known as Neelkantha). As the churning progressed, the Mount Madura started sinking into the ocean bed. Soon, Vishnu assumed the form of his tortoise avatar Koorma and let them use his back as a pivot upon which the churning stick could turn.
The Ocean produced Lakshmi, Sura, Goddess of wine, Chandra or the Moon, Rambha the nymph, Uchchaisravas the white horse, Kaustubha a jewel, Parijata the celestial wishing tree, Surabhi the cow of plenty, Airavata a white elephant, Sankha a conch shell, Dhanus a mighty bow and Visha the poison vomited by Vasuki.
And at last the Ocean also produced the Amrit, carried by Dhanwantari. Both the gods and demons tried to seize the Amrit but the demons were first. While they were quarreling over who should drink it first, Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini, a beautiful woman. Mohini gave the demons varuni, or liquor, while the gods got the amrit.
The beautiful soft stone figure of Patañjali is given a spectacular and detail treatment. Patanjali is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, a major ork containing aphorisms on the philosophical aspects of mind and consciousness, and also the author of a major commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi. He is known to be an incarnation of Ādi S'esha who is the first ego-expansion of Vishnu, the manifestation of Vishnu. His primeval energies and opulences, is part of the so-called catur vyūha, the fourfold manifestation of Vishnu. Thus may Patañjali be considered as the one incarnation of God defending the ego of yoga. In recent decades the Yoga Sutra has become quite popular worldwide for the precepts regarding practice of Raja Yoga and its philosophical basis. "Yoga" in traditional Hinduism involves inner contemplation, a rigorous system of meditation practice, ethics, metaphysics, and devotion to the one common soul, God, or Brahman. He was a great Natya dancer and is revered by the exponents of classical Indian dance as their patron saint.
