The stone is sourced from local quarries, ensuring it meets the requirements for carving. - our, sculptors often use a special type of stone available in few parts of tamilnadu is ideal for carving. ### 2. **Rough Shaping the Block** - Once the stone block is selected, artisans use chisels and hammers to roughly shape the stone. They remove large chunks to create a basic outline of the statue, focusing on getting the proportions right. - Traditionally, this is done manually, but in modern times, pneumatic tools are sometimes used to speed up the process. ### 3. **Detailed Carving** - After the rough shape is achieved, finer chisels are used for detailed carving.

For instance, every mudra (hand gesture) or posture must conform to traditional standards. - The artisans often work for weeks or even months on a single piece, especially when carving the delicate features of the statue, like facial expressions, hair, or ornaments. ### 4. **Polishing** - Once the detailed carving is complete, the statue is polished. This process smooths the stone’s surface and gives it a reflective finish. - Different levels of polishing are used depending on the desired finish. Some statues are fully polished to a shiny surface, while others are left with a more matte or rough texture to emphasize certain aspects. - Polishing is traditionally done with natural materials like sandstone and wet sand, although modern tools like diamond-tipped grinders are also used. ### 5. **Final Touches** - After polishing, the sculptors add finishing touches, which may include engraving fine details or enhancing certain features, like eyes or facial expressions, with additional carving. - If the statue is for religious purposes, the final step often involves a consecration ceremony to sanctify the idol. ### 6. **Cultural and Artistic Influence** - our work is known for its rich tradition of Dravidian art and temple architecture.
