This granite Garden statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India using a hammer and chisel.  

Special Features:  The original Buddha is a seventh century sandstone Buddha located at the Mauna Kea Hotel in Hawaii.  The curved lines, imposing size and simple features of the meditating Buddha convey a sense of calm and tranquility.  The flame reaching up to the heavens is much like those found in Cambodian style Buddhas.  On the base of the statue there are two elephants and a burning oil candle.  In Indian society elephants are considered to bring good luck and prosperity.  In Buddhism elephants symbolize mental strength.  At the beginning of one's practice the uncontrolled mind is symbolized by a gray elephant who can run wild any moment and destroy everything on his way. After practicing dharma and taming one's mind, the mind which is now brought under control is symbolized by a white elephant strong and powerful, who can be directed wherever one wishes and destroy all the obstacles on his way.

About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
