• Anoma Sakhare

Both of the figures of a domestic-sized deity which is displayed on an altar with the sacrifices offered by them are also compatible to study in context of their statues. Lord Śiva as a dancing figure is familiar free-standing sculpture representation usually became the standard in bronze. The statues and paintings are visual statements of myths and traditions. In the remarkably standardized form, identify these gods by the objects they wear by their hair styles and other creatures that come with them. Lord Buddha is always depicted in certain physical characteristics and specified attire and specified poses. Each pose and especially the position and gesture of the Buddha’s hands has a defined meaning that is familiar to Buddhists. Both God’s statues represent confusion and ignorance, leading humanity away from the truth and destruction (samhāra) of evils like kāma (passion or desire), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (delusion), mada (ego, pride) and matsarya (jealousy). Their images show the continuing cycle of life and death in this world until one attains final salvation (mokśa).
