Hand-Painted Wooden Cut Out – Gandharva with Garland

In Indian mythology, Gandharvas are celestial musicians, often depicted as the male counterparts to Apsaras, the celestial dancers. This wooden cut out shows one in flight, golden wings spread wide, holding a long garland stretched between his hands as though offering it down from above.

Painted in a rich palette of purples, blues, and gold, with fine detailing carried through his crown, jewellery, and flowing drapery, the figure captures the ornate style traditionally used for Gandharva sculptures on South Indian temple pillars and walls.

At 12 inches in height and 10 inches in width, it's a versatile piece that works equally well mounted on a wall in a puja room or fixed to a ceiling, where it reads as a celestial figure showering blessings from above. Note that the price listed is for a single piece; if you'd like a pair, mention this in the notes at checkout.

For NRI households, this is a way to bring a specific, temple-architecture-inspired figure into a home abroad, and it makes a distinctive gift for a housewarming or for anyone furnishing a puja room with pieces that carry real mythological depth.

Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, set in clear coat sealant

Dimensions: Height 12 inches, Width 10 inches
