Indian temples are famous for profuse sculpture and magnificent proportions. Master craftsmen with a fine sense of balance and skill have created over thousands of years, magnificent temples with intricate workmanship. The history of Indian Temple Arts dates back to 5000 BC. As per Vedic tradition of ancient India, Indian Temple Arts have brought back to life expressions of Existence for one to experience.

The artists creating the beautiful sculptures are highly skilled artisans and dedicated to both their artwork and their own spiritual growth. This type of detailed and elaborate artwork is fast becoming a dying art in India because the artisans are not able to make a living through sculpting. Nithyananda Sacred Arts strives to provide ongoing support to these artists so that this wonderful art form and tradition can continue to survive and flourish in the modern generation and beyond.
From a spiritual perspective, the artisans perform visualization-based work. In order to produce the pieces of art, the artisans need to create the form from their inner space and visualize the same. Meditation helps them do so and in turn, the work they do is like meditation for them. The visualization that the artisans do becomes the expression of the deity or god that they sculpt. Hindu gods represent the infinite possibilities that lie deep within each one of us. They are believed to radiate the healing energy in all directions to create a more positive, energetic, and blissful life. The customer that sees the sculpture of the deity or god, in turn receives the energy of the expression created without any requirement of worship on their part.
