Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ShalinCraft Hindu God Lord Hanuman Statue in Stone Carving 2.25 x 1.75 x 4 inchesCustomer Review: Lord Hanuman Stone Sculpture Summary: 5 StarsI have physically seen stone statues sold by ShalinCraft. These are made in a very unique kind of stone found in the state of Orissa in eastern India. These stones are harder than soap-stones, on which most carvings are made, but softer than granite stone. Orissa along with Khajuraho is known for temple sculptures that were created in 10th and 11th centuries. Stone statues sold by ShalinCraft seem to be inspired by those temple sculptures. Rajendra Misra, a young sculptor living in the town of Puri in Orissa, has created most of ShalinCraft statues. This sculptor was also awarded Medal by the President of India for his outstanding creations of sculptures.
Description of ShalinCraft Hindu God Lord Hanuman Statue in Stone Carving 2.25 x 1.75 x 4 inchesShalinCraft Hindu God Lord Hanuman Statue in Stone Carving Hanuman is one of the most important personalities of Ramayana, the Hindu epic. Hindus believe in ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. One of Vishnus avatars is Rama, who was created to destroy the evil Ravana. In order to aid Rama, Lord Shiva incarnated as a monkey, and was born as Hanuman to Anjana, by the blessings of Pavana, who thus became Hanumans Godfather. Hanuman selected Surya, the sun god as his teacher, and approached him with the request to teach the scriptures. Hanumans phenomenal concentration took him only 60 hours to master the scriptures. As fees, the sun god asked Hanuman to assist his son Sugriva, by being his compatriot. Hanuman met Rama and his brother Lakshmana while Rama was in exile in the jungle, and searching for his wife Sita who was abducted by Ravana. Hanumans initial words highly impressed Rama. After he revealed his identity as the prince of Ayodhya, Hanuman fell prostrate before him in respect of the Lord. Rama picked him up and embraced him. There began the story of Hanuman, which is inextricably interwoven with Rama, and dealt with in detail in Valmikis Ramayana and the Tulsidas Ramacharitamanas. Hanuman then introduced Rama to Sugriva, and began his massive search for Sita. Finding out her whereabouts, he consoled Sita, and burnt down the city of Lanka. Hanuman then brought Rama to Lanka, fought the battle against Ravana with his simian army, and vanquished the demons.
