Ethereal "Herbal Ivory" – Handcrafted Sholapith Durga Mahishasuramardini Ensemble | 28 Inch x 22 Inch

Bring Home the Divine Purity of Bengal’s Master Craftsmanship

Immerse your space in an aura of divinity and exquisite artistry with this magnificent Durga idol, handcrafted entirely from Sholapith. This is not just a statue; it is a testament to a centuries-old folk art tradition from Bengal, rendered in breath-taking detail.

The Artistry

Sholapith (the dried milky-white spongy core of a marsh plant) is often called "Herbal Ivory" due to its pristine white color and matte texture. In this stunning piece, master artisans have meticulously carved the delicate material into a powerful representation of Goddess Durga as Mahishasuramardini—the slayer of the buffalo demon.

The central figure of the Mother Goddess, astride her lion, is flanked by her children: Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati standing gracefully, and Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya seated below. The entire ensemble is framed by an incredibly intricate Chalchitra (ornamental backdrop) featuring elaborate peacock motifs and filigree work that defies the delicate nature of the medium.
