She sits on a double-tiered lotus throne: a lower ring of petals unfurling fully open, with a second, higher tier blooming above it — a fuller, richer seat than the single-lotus base most Saraswati murtis are given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLook closer and the details keep giving. Her veena is carved with unusual realism — you can trace each individual string and the natural taper of the gourd body, as though a real instrument had been set down mid-performance rather than merely suggested in stone. Her seated posture breaks from the stiff, front-facing formality of a smaller murti: one leg folded beneath her, the other released outward at a dynamic, artistic angle, as if she's been caught mid-thought rather than posed for a photograph. In her right hand she holds a small parrot — a detail rarely seen in Saraswati iconography, and one that adds an unexpected note of warmth to an otherwise regal form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold leaf work here is deliberately finished in an antique, deeper tone rather than the brighter gold used on our smaller pieces — a stylistic choice that gives her a weathered, royal richness, as though she has watched over a temple for generations rather than just left the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase width:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 30 inches — a near-square footprint, not a narrow vertical figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Culture marble with antique-tone gold leaf detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted facial features, antique gold leaf crown and jewelry, realistically carved veena with individually defined strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double-tiered, fully blooming lotus throne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dynamic, asymmetrical leg pose; a small parrot held in her right hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrafted by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master artisans in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full customization of finish, color, and detailing available on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely crated for international transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e International freight worldwide — 50+ countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemples, ashrams, and spiritual institutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand home mandirs and dedicated prayer halls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA once-in-a-lifetime commissioned centerpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors who want a Saraswati with genuinely rare iconographic detail — the parrot, the double lotus, the antique-tone finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this statue made of real marble?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece is culture marble — a hand-finished composite of marble powder and binding materials.
