{"product_id":"4-garudhan-kneeling-super-fine-brass-polished-finish","title":"4″ Garudhan Kneeling | Super Fine Brass | Polished Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Garuda idol, cast in super fine brass, stands 4.5 inches (12 cm) tall, 4.5 inches (12 cm) wide, and 2.5 inches (7 cm) deep, weighing approximately 280 g, and depicts Garuda in a kneeling posture with wings fully spread, hands joined in anjali mudra at the chest — the form of Garudan in devoted supplication before his lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture is produced using traditional lost-wax casting, a technique that enables the full wingspan, the layered body ornamentation, and the fine feather striations across both wings to be resolved with precision simultaneously. Garuda is shown kneeling on one knee with the opposite leg raised, the posture dynamic yet composed, conveying both strength and reverence. The wings arc outward and upward in a wide, symmetrical spread, each feather individually defined across the surface in clean, graduated relief. The face carries a calm, devoted expression beneath a structured crown with a conical topknot finial. The torso is ornamented with layered necklaces and a broad chest piece, the lower body draped in a detailed dhoti with ornamental work carried down to the anklets. The figure rests on a tiered lotus and bead-molded circular base, itself cleanly resolved with petal detailing around the plinth edge. Super fine brass casting is what allows the feather detailing across the full wingspan, the individually worked ornaments, and the fine facial features to hold their sharpness within a composition of this scale and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaruda is the divine eagle and the vahana of Lord Vishnu, occupying a position of singular importance in Vaishnava tradition. He is venerated as the lord of the skies, the destroyer of serpents, and an embodiment of speed, courage, and unwavering devotion. The kneeling, anjali-posed form of Garuda — known as Garudan in this mode — represents complete surrender and bhakti, and is among the most sacred postures in which he is depicted. His image is installed at the entrance of major Vishnu temples and in home shrines as both a guardian and an expression of devoted service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been central to Indian devotional metalwork for centuries. It holds fine cast detail with fidelity, carries a warm tonal depth that develops with time, and is structurally durable — qualities that make it suited for both active ritual use and long-term display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece carries a polished finish, visible in the warm bright gold tone across the raised surfaces of the wings, crown, ornaments, and base, with darkened recesses in the feather channels and ornamental relief that give the composition its depth and visual definition. Handcrafted pieces carry natural variation in surface texture and tone between individual sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Garuda idol is well suited for a Vishnu puja room, a home altar, gifting on occasions such as Vaikuntha Ekadashi or Garuda Panchami, or as a collector's piece in classical Indian devotional sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e At Cosmic Studio, every sculpture is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Minor variations in color, texture, and detailing are a natural result of the artisanal process and are considered marks of authenticity. These unique characteristics, along with potential differences in lighting and screen displays, may cause the product to appear slightly different from the images shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44058225967139,"sku":"CS-PART1-OCT-0074","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/DZ6A0074.webp?v=1792220498","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/4-garudhan-kneeling-super-fine-brass-polished-finish","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
