Description:
This Chola Nandhi (Small) is a compact yet beautifully sculpted brass piece inspired by the refined aesthetics of ancient Chola bronzes. Resting in a serene and poised posture, the Nandhi embodies unwavering devotion — forever seated as Shiva’s loyal attendant and guardian. The sculpture features clean contours, balanced proportions, and ornamental detailing across the saddle and collar, revealing the artisan’s steady hand and reverence for classical form. Despite its petite 4-inch size, the piece carries a striking presence, adding grounding energy and a sacred calm to puja spaces, work desks, spiritual corners, or curated home displays.

Craft Story — Divine Grace, Timeless Tradition

Crafting a Chola-style Nandhi in  small scale requires exceptional precision. Artisans begin with sand casting to create the foundational shape, carefully ensuring that the Nandhi’s gentle expression and meditative form are preserved. After casting, the figure is hand-finished: chiselling the geometric motifs, refining the folds and ornaments, and polishing the brass to achieve a warm, temple-like glow.

Rooted in South India’s millennia-old bronze tradition, this piece reflects the enduring artistry of Chola sculpture — where even the smallest idols were created with deep devotion and sculptural mastery. This petite Nandhi carries that heritage forward, offering both beauty and spiritual significance in a form meant to last across generations.
