Buy Unique Statues of Indian Gods and Goddesses Online



Contrary to popular belief, Hindu deities are not individual gods that indicate a polytheistic faith. These deities and images are rather different embodiments of the various aspects of the one god and source known as Brahman. The physical representations of Brahman's attributes in the form of images and deities are vehicles for devotees to focus their attention, meditation, and devotion on a particular aspect or attribute of Brahman's character in a form that can easily be visualized and in turn, held in the mind.



These deities can be seen as reflecting various aspects and characteristics of Brahman and his embodiments with the use of different features such as the way the image is dressed, its posture, its physical characteristics, and the symbolic objects that are also present in the image. It should also be noted that here are many ways that each deity can be presented. In some cases, for instance, different symbols may show that a particular deity belongs to a specific family, such as some deities that are associated with Vishnu or those that belong to common Hindu heritage.

Online, you will also see Indian god and goddess statues in a wide range of unique media, including wood, metal, stone, and even plastic. Images found in temples are usually much more majestic than the typical statues you would find in Hindu homes, but you will find a wide variety of high-grade statues that you can install in your home as a focal point for your personal worship. 



Each god or goddess is also associated with a specific vehicle, such as a bird or some type of animal on which the deity travels. These vehicles are used in traditional Indian religious art to depict and extend the qualities or powers of the deity and to represent their close relationship with all things.
