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:   Hanuman known also as Anjaneya, is one of the most important personalities in the epic, the Ramayana. He is a vanara or "human with the tail of a monkey" who aided Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, in rescuing His Consort, Sita, from the Rakshasa king Ravana.  The monkey general, Hanuman is shown standing with his hands together in respect in adoration of Rama.  Hanuman is renown for his faithful and steadfast service to Rama as told in the Ramayana epic in which Hanuman played an active part.  Some consider Hanuman to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva.  On Hanuman's head is a tilaka.  A tilaka is a ritual mark meaning holy mud.  It is applied on the foreheads of devotees of Lord Vishnu.  Vishnu also wears the symbol on His forehead.
Devotees apply it as a mark of respect to Lord Vishnu, denoting they are holding His Lotus Feet on their forehead.

A tilaka is carved into the base of the sculpture as well along with a conch and discuss. Coconut oil was applied to the statue to turn the color of the statue black.  The black color is permanent. 

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.
