EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stone sculpture of Navagraha, dating back to the 10th century. Created by an Indian School artist, this masterpiece measures 39.37 x74.3 x11.43 cm and is housed in the prestigious San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The Navagrahas are personifications of cosmic influence in Hindu astrology, representing nine celestial bodies that have a significant impact on human life and destiny. This intricate sculpture beautifully captures their essence and power. Each figure stands tall with intricate detailing, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of ancient Indian artisans. The figures exude a sense of divine energy as they symbolize various planetary deities like Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangala (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Guru/Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (North Lunar Node) and Ketu (South Lunar Node). As one gazes upon this artwork, it evokes a deep appreciation for South Asian belief systems and Hinduism's rich cultural heritage. The sculpture serves as a reminder of India's profound connection to spirituality and its reverence for celestial forces. Gifted to the museum by Catherine and Ralph Benkaim, this remarkable piece holds immense historical significance while also serving as a testament to artistic excellence from centuries ago. Through this photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can experience the beauty and symbolism captured
