#PMMementos | Craved Sandalwood Veena

A meticulously crafted sculpture of a Veena made from the finest red sandalwood. This masterful creation showcases the rich heritage of sandalwood carving, a tradition deeply rooted in Karnataka for over a millennium.The Veena stands as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Kamlesh Jangid, a nationally renowned artist hailing from Rajasthan. At the pinnacle of this masterpiece is Goddess Saraswati, perched gracefully on top of a lotus throne, playing the Veena with divine elegance. She is adorned in regal attire, a crown, and a garland of fragrant flowers. This piece offers a glimpse into various divine scenes intricately carved into its compartments, from Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati with Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya, to Lord Krishna and Radha under a tree with a cow and peacock, and a scene of three saints together. The detailed Ram Darbar graces the base.
