India Sandal Wood Sun God

Specifications: The sun is the literal source of life and energy for all living beings. Worship of the sun is one of mankind\'\'s oldest beliefs and perhaps in many ways one of the most sensible too. According to Indian mythology Surya rides across the sky in a golden chariot drawn by seven white horses, personifications of the days of the week.

The solar chariot is the oldest hypothesis to explain the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. His charioteer is an interesting personage called Aruna. This worthy is translucent and is an undifferentiated mass of flesh under the waist and sitting down on the job is about all he can do, but that is perfect for this task.

His light shines through the translucent body of Aruna and that is why we have the Red Sun, visible in the morning. The rays of the sun are described as the many arms of Surya reaching out to bless every corner of the universe and infusing the realms of the gods with energy.

This magnificent statue of Lord Surya measuring the dimensions of (60*67*42 {H*D*W} in inches) has been crafted in sandal wood with rose wood base. It took almost 1.5 years to complete this explicit statue of Lord Surya.
