Description

This exquisite antique marble statue, measuring 32.5 cm in height, originates from a Jain temple in Rajasthan, India, and dates back to the 14th century. Crafted from fine marble, it represents Indra, the celestial deity often depicted as a carrier of a fly fan, symbolizing royalty and ceremonial dignity. Indra’s presence is a vital aspect of Jain iconography, as he frequently accompanies images of the Jina, the enlightened beings central to Jain beliefs.

The detailed artistry of this statue reflects the rich traditions of Jain craftsmanship, known for their meticulous attention to detail and spiritual significance. The statue's dimensions—14.2 cm in width and 9.5 cm in depth—make it a striking piece for both collectors and spiritual seekers. Weighing 7.55 kg, it holds a physical presence that captivates the observer.

Jainism, an ancient religion with roots in India, emphasizes non-violence, truth, and asceticism. The temple from which this statue hails serves as a testament to the religious artistic expressions that flourished in the region. This piece not only embodies the spiritual heritage of Jainism but also serves as a stunning reminder of Rajasthan’s artistic legacy. Adorning your space with this statue invites a sense of tranquility and a profound connection to India’s historical and cultural tapestry.
