  • Arjuna is the main character of the Mahabharata epic and is one of the Pandavas born when his mother invoked the God Indra in a mantra
  • In this sculpture he is depictured with a quiver of arrows strapped across his back gazing down at the open jaws of a crocodile who is about to eat him
  • Even in this compromised position, Arjuna shows no fear as he knows he cannot be harmed by any creature of the water, as you can read more of in the story of Arjuna and the crocodiles in the description below
  • The statue is hand carved from one piece of crocodile wood and is completely one of a kind, you will receive this exact statue with your order
The Story of Arjuna and the Crocodiles:  When Arjuna was in exile, he went to an ashram where the sages told him, "There are five pools of water nearby, where we used to bath. Now there is one crocodile in each. The crocodiles eat whoever goes to the pools." Arjuna had received a boon from Ulupi, the daughter of the king of snakes, that gave him the power that no creature of water could defeat him in battle. Arjuna fearlessly went to one of the pools and pulled the crocodile to the shore. Immediately, it turned into a beautiful woman who said, "I am Varga, a fairy in Kubera's court. One day, I along with four other fairies, Saurabha, Samichi, Lata, and Budbuda unknowingly disturbed a sage who was meditating. He put a curse on us and we became crocodiles. He said that when a brave warrior pulled us out of water the curse would end. You have freed me from the curse, please save my other friends also." Arjuna agreed. The five fairies thanked him.

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart.
- Kyle Tortora, Founder of Lotus Sculpture
The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.

Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:

  • Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
  • To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture

We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.

We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected].
