Hindu Shola Pith Statues Decoration Pieces - Shola Pith Statues
Shola pith is a milky-white sponge-wood which is carved into delicate and beautiful objects of art of India. Shola is a wild plant found in marshy waterlogged areas of Bengal and Assam. The shola pith is the cortex or core of the plant and is an inch and a half in diameter. The outer harder brown skin is removed by expert hands to reveal the inner soft milky-white and spongy material. Artists from Bengal, Assam, Orissa and Tamilnadu use it for making artefacts used for decoration and ornate head-wears of bridal couples. The finest examples of craftsmanship are however seen on images of gods and goddesses on festivals, especially the massive decorative backdrops made for "Durga- Puja" celebrations.

The third aspect of the Supreme Being is the process of dissolution of all creation, a precursor to the fresh beginning of the process of creation...(and) is represented by Lord Shiva - the third of the Hindu Trinity... Shiva controls death in the physical world and since birth and death are complementary to each other, Shiva is revered as the master of all birth and death... Shiva brings about the unification of the transient with the transcendental and of all that illusory with the ultimate truth... In himself he assimilates the characteristics of the male and the female, creator and the destroyer, celibacy and eroticism…
