Project History
Mythological Context
Durga Ma, Mother Durga, is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. She represents the primordial feminine force (Shakti) and is invoked as a protector against evil. Her traditional iconography shows her with multiple arms bearing divine weapons.
The Artistic Challenge
Representing a multi-armed deity in three-dimensional sculpture requires solving complex problems of composition and balance. Each arm must flow naturally while bearing its symbolic attributes, maintaining the visual harmony of the whole.
Casting Process (S3)
The iconographic complexity demanded meticulous initial modeling (S1). Each element—from ornaments to ritual weapons—was cast with precision using lost-wax technique, preserving the richness of detail that this deity requires.
Legacy and Impact
This piece represents RunArt Foundry’s capability to execute works of profound spiritual significance with the utmost respect for the cultural traditions they represent.
