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.

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.
