The Lotus Sculpture Community

Lotus Sculpture has been a tight knit community since 2000 when we took our first buying trip to India and started meeting the artisans who are the core of who we are today. Lotus Sculpture is so appreciative of our customers! Without you we would not be able to support our artisans and these beautiful sculptures would not be finding homes in the far reaches of the world!
We are a small, unique business that puts people in front of profits, life long relationships in front of making a dollar.
We invite you to become an active member of the Lotus Sculpture community. Please post, tweet Facebook, debate, and rate away! Tell us and tell the world what is on your mind.

TESTIMONIALS

Totally Fulfilling Experience - Aesthetically and Emotionally Reviewed by Ramesh on 09/03/2019 (Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra) It's a wonderfully crafted Ganpati. Though I'd ordered and received it nearly a month ago, it was unveiled to the whole family, yesterday, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthee. All the members of my extended family, some twenty members, were touched by the presence of the God they all revere. The packing is very good, however there no response from Sealed Air office when I was trying contact them for the return. The shopping experience was very good and professional at the American end, But the Indian Customs people spoilled it by over-charging me for a sculpture made in India and bought from a store in California.

Love your Statue's. Reviewed by Noel on 07/24/2019 (Van Nuys, CA) I'm still setting up my meditation room. I don't have my Statue's set up properly. Great experience working with Kyle. Shipping was perfect. Gave your card to my acupuncturist and sent her a text with your number

Outstanding Reviewed by Charles on 08/27/2018 (Tuscon, AZ) Traveling extensively with my wife, especially many trips to India, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Nepal, Vietnam and Cambodia we developed a love of the history, culture and people of these countries. Having meditated for several years learned from one of our grown daughters and trying to adhere to the teachings and pronouncements of Buddha, I carefully evaluated what type of surprise would be suitable for our 50th anniversary. On recommendations from close friends in New York, I learned about Lotus Sculptures started by Kyle Tortora, that he developed a small network of the most outstanding artisans in specific countries, personally selects each work while providing an improved higher standard of living for those artisans. Kyle greatly assisted in selecting a four headed Brahma, Kamakura Buddha, Earth Touching Buddha, Shiva Head, Ganesh, a large stone base and two magnificently hand carved wood head busts from mango trees in India depicting Shiva and his wife, Parvati. All purchases weighing over 2,000 lbs. were expertly crated, shipped and arrived safely at our home in two days providing a great surprise for my wife. We hope to acquire in the future several more one-of-a kind Works from Kyle. Without hesitation or reservation, I believe that Lotus Sculpture is one of the most outstanding entities in the United States providing at reasonable prices great Buddha and Hindu Works.

Great Statue Reviewed by Ashley on 04/22/2018 (San Diego, CA) Great Statue! Love ordering from Lotus Sculpture.

It's great Reviewed by Sasipraveen on 03/13/2018 () Great status you have

Unbelievable Reviewed by Joe on 10/17/2017 (San Angelo, TX) I bought an antique 17th century Loatian Buddha and a 'Earth touching ' Buddha for my wife for her birthday. Very, very nice. Packaged incredibly well and efficient, fast shipping. Overall MUCH, much better than expected- and I expected a lot based on previous reviews. I also spoke with Kyle and he really does give the impression of a very thoughtful, conscientious owner who cares about the customer. Unique experience.

Wow Reviewed by Drew on 09/05/2017 (Norwalk, CT) I recently purchased a Buddha statue carved from hibiscus wood and the workmanship is pretty remarkable. Amazing to me that an artisan is able to create this statue with fine detail out of a natural piece of hibiscus wood. Customer service was excellent. It arrived promptly and when I sent an e-mail regarding an issue it was answered promptly as well. Would definitely recommend Lotus Sculpture.

Perfect in every way Reviewed by Scott on 07/18/2017 (Temple Terrace, Florida) From my first email to Kyle, to the delivery of the statue I ordered, dealing with Lotus Sculpture has been perfect. Outstanding customer service by a very knowledgeable staff and trouble free delivery. The statue was delivered safe and sound and as great as the website pictures were, they didn't do the statue justice. Perfect! Thank you Kyle!!

Thrilled! Reviewed by Joe Arnold on 03/07/2017 (Estes Park, CO) The two Buddha statues arrived today and I'm thrilled with them. Exactly as shown on the web site and your packing was superb. Thanks! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Amazing Experience Reviewed by Robert & Gat Heilpern on 09/05/2016 (Rye Brook, NY) Two parts of every sale, the personal contact you have with the company and the product. Kyle was amazing and really explained the process of how his sculptures are created and the detail to attention that is given to each pice of art. The product, totally breath taking, one of a kind. Exceeded expectations, packed well. Love, Love my buddha. I would highly recommend Lotus Sculpture for anyone looking for a one of a kind work of art.

Very pleased. Reviewed by Kathy on 08/10/2016 (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) I received my Medicine Healing Buddha and must say I was very apprehensive about ordering from a company I did not know of. When it arrived I was so very impressed! The quality was gorgeous and the service impeccable. The only thing I would warn about is if you see a piece you love you should buy it as I have chosen additional pieces and gone back to purchase, and they are not there anymore. My first experience with Lotus Sculpture was flawless. I just today ordered two more pieces. One for myself and one for a very dear Spiritual Friend. Thank you:)

Nataraja appena arrivato ! Nataraja is just arrived ! Reviewed by Giovanni B on 05/11/2016 (Torino, Piemonte) Ho subito aperto il pacco: imballato con molta cura è arrivato in pochi giorni qui in Italia, in anticipo rispetto alle previsioni di consegna. La statua è veramente bella, corrisponde esattamente alle immagini che apparivano sul sito, con finiture molto dettagliate e fedele anche nei colori. Essendo la prima volta che acquistavo dal suo sito e calcolando anche la distanza sulla quale doveva viaggiare la statua ero molto insicuro nell’acquisto ma la bellezza della statua mi ha tentato !! Sono contento di aver acquistato dal Sig. Kyle Tortora, no ho avuto alcun problema. La ringrazio molto per la sua meticolosa attenzione e buon lavoro ! B. Giovanni, Torino, Italia I quickly opened the package : packed very carefully arrived in a few days here in Italy , in advance of the delivery forecasts . The statue is really beautiful , corresponds exactly to the images that appeared on the site , with highly detailed finishes and faithful also in colors . In this first purchase from your website and also calculating the distance over which the statue had to travel, I was very insecure but the beauty of the statue tempted me !! I'm glad I bought from Mr Kyle Tortora ,there was no problem. Thank you very much for your meticulous attention and good work ! B. Giovanni , Torino , Italy

Beautiful Budda! Reviewed by Rhonda Patterson on 05/09/2016 (Guntersville, AL) My statue arrived on the exact day that Kyle said it would. The packing was done with exceptional care and the statue is absolutely lovely. I would not hesitate to purchase again from Lotus Sulpture in the future! :-)

Satisfied customer Reviewed by Carlos Salasporras on 05/08/2016 (Juarez, Chihuahua) High degree of excellence in the poduct quality, prompt delivery and, above all, profesional service.

Fabulous! Reviewed by Kate on 05/07/2016 (Las Vegas, NV) Our Uttong Style Buddha statue is the same as one we purchased many years ago in Thailand(but had to give up in an international move). Consequently, even though we've only had it for a week, it is already dear to us. It arrived quickly and was expertly packaged in contour foam. Kyle was friendly and efficient. I unhesitatingly recommend Lotus Sculpture. We are 100% delighted with our experience:)

Laughing Buddha Reviewed by Will on 05/05/2016 (Aurora, ON) I absolutely love my laughing Buddha. It's beautifully carved and the imperfections of the wood give it an authentic appearance. Shipping was fast and packaging done right. Thanks for the awesome experience :) I wish all the best karma for your company.

Amazing statues, Amazing service, Kyle an amazing person Reviewed by Dean Mendoza on 05/04/2016 (Tucson, AZ) We've purchased 3 statues from Lotus Sculptures all of which were in superb condition and all more beautiful than the photos. The artistry and care that go into making these works of art are unparalleled. We've purchased other statues from other companies but the quality does not compare to what we've received from Lotus Sculptures. Not only is the quality and care of these amazing pieces, but the energy and life force of each statue is palpable. They have positively changed the environment of our home. I dare to say that there is not a website or company that can offer these unique pieces at the price they are being offered. Kyle the founder of Lotus Sculptures is patient, hardworking, and one of the kindest people I've encountered. He really cares and in this day and age he is a rarity. We are Lotus Sculpture customers for Life! Sincerely, Dean Mendoza

Happy Customer Reviewed by Inderjeet Mangat on 04/16/2016 (Rocklin, California) Order to delivery, everything went to plan.

Ganesha Reviewed by Ena on 04/14/2016 (Dallas, Texas) The item was very nicely packed, but there was a small chip in the wood on the face of the statue.

Uthong Buddha Vitarka Mudra 19" Reviewed by Jim Lauer on 04/14/2016 (Swannanoa, North Carolina) This was just the Buddha that I need to somewhat round out my shrine room. Every thing that Kyle bring in from Asia is of excellent quality, and always arrives in mint condition. He is meticulous in providing a thorough explanation on the meaning of the statue. This Uthong Buddha replica has the right look of the period, including not being plumb. This store serves a wonderful purpose of proving quality statues here in the United States. Jim

Beautiful garden Buddha Reviewed by Amy on 04/13/2016 (Sheboygan, WI) I purchased a garden Buddha for my husbands birthday. We are both very pleased with the quality of the statue, how it was packaged for shipping, and how quickly it arrived. Would recommend this company to anyone interested in purchasing a statue.

Wrong color Reviewed by Megan schaner on 04/08/2016 (Stockton, Ca) Statue was undoubtedly beautiful I absolutely love it however I did order a lighter color Kenosha as seen in the photo from my order and my Kenosha ended up being 100% darker which was at first disappointing but I returned everything I had for my altar and made it work

Beautiful! Reviewed by Carl on 04/06/2016 (Suburbs, MI) I just got this piece today. The workmanship is fabulous, and it is worth every penny. Excellent Energy!

Great experience Reviewed by Art Barlow on 03/31/2016 (Minneapolis, MN) My Thai Buddha came exactly as was shown on the website. Great packaging that made sure it arrived in great condition. We love the new addition to our backyard sanctuary!

Quality statue, good vibes, and good service. Reviewed by David Moscarello on 03/31/2016 (Edmonton, Alberta) Kyle did an excellent job modifying my order to suit my needs and is an excellent communicator. I sent the item as a gift, and I am told that not only is in beautiful, solid, and vibrant, but it arrived in perfect condition and was packed impeccably well. Lotus Sculpture is quite simply the sacred sculpture Mecca of the internet. I would feel confident ordering sculptures of any prize range here.

Lakshmi is all we hoped for and more Reviewed by Cindy MQ on 03/29/2016 (West Palm Beach, FL) After doing a pretty thorough search on-line and communicating with Kyle several times by email and phone we finally purchased the 42" Lakshmi. She came packed tight like a mummy which was a relief since she was making her way across the country. Her quality and color is every bit as good as it looked in the photos. I would purchase from them again and recommend this company to a friend.

Perfect in every way Reviewed by Antonio Rajan on 03/29/2016 (Aledo , TX) I remain truly amazed at the quality of the products I buy from Lotus. My home is filled with Indian statues from Lotus, and it gives the home such a sense of tranquility and peace. Thanks so much Kyle.

Ganesha Reviewed by Allegra Parisi on 02/16/2016 (Laguna beach , California ) The service and shipping and quality was amazing.

A GREAT PIECE, GOOD SERVICE! Reviewed by KAMLESH NANJI on 02/01/2016 (ORLANDO, FL) I GOT MY NATARAJA TODAY AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. KYLE IS VERY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. HE HELPED ME OUT ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE PIECE IS A LITTLE ON THE HIGHER SIDE PRICE WISE, BUT.... THE DELIVERY TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED BUT NOT A BIG DEAL. THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL PIECES AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR MORE ART.

Happy in Virginia. Reviewed by Kaushiki Bose on 01/25/2016 (N Chesterfield, VA) Great seller, great products and great service all around. Super nice packaging, fast shipping, good communication and nice prices. Recommended to my friends and family. During our travels to Mahabalipuram, my husband fell in love with the place, the people and the sculptures. The beauty of rustic hand-carved stone statues from India is to die for. We searched in vain, high & low, for all retail options for this style of artwork. Fortunately I found Kyle and LS on-line. To my delight I found what we were looking for at a price that was affordable. The statues are breathtaking. I will definitely post pictures of all the garden statuaries I bought this Spring. Right now, we are under two feet of snow. However, here's some pictures of the indoor figurines. Still not sure what to do with the "Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingam River Stone 9". It's quite heavy and big. I wish you sold the base for the lingams like you have pictured (the last one) on the smaller stones. You'll see me more often browsing and buying in your store. Also in the future, I might request you to commission some unusual and different garden sculptures, like "Ganesh" playing different musical instruments like Sitar, Mridanga, Tabla, Sarangi, Flutes, etc., and at a maximum height of 2 feet. The complete transaction was a joy. Kyle is a treasure and takes great care by respecting the artwork, the artisans and the LS customers. We are very satisfied Lotus Sculpture customers and are planning to add more to our collection in the near future. Thank you so much Kyle. Thanks again.

Kwan Yin is a Masterpiece of Beautiful Wood Reviewed by john quincy on 01/23/2016 (arlington, texas) I have been a collector of wooden sculpture for over 40 years. During this period I have been fortunate enough to have traveled through most Asian countries doing humanitarian work with my wife. I felt I had collected some amazing statues until I received just yesterday the Kwan Yin statue that chose us to live with.. She is stunning and just beautiful! The packing was superb, the communication was excellent, and I really appreciated the consideration of working with us on the shipping and timing. We just couldn't be more happy and pleased with the statue that is now the apex of our collection. She is simply just spectacular and we promise to give her a great home. Thanks again, so much!

Amazing service and top quality! Love the statue and it´s vibe. Authentic love for your products and business is felt. Thank you!

defecto en este ídolo Reviewed by Karkotagan on 01/23/2016 (Dallas, WI) hay un defecto en este ídolo. Shiva y Vishnu co-unió para demostrar que no son ni superiores a los demás y que son uno. La escultura aquí ha dado marca sólo a Vishnu que es un insulto a las deidades. Aunque aprecio la finura del trabajo

Gorgeous white Shiva Reviewed by Magda on 01/03/2016 (Bland, Va) Kyle was from the beginning great. From the first email acknowledging the purchase right to the end he was kind and welcoming and happy to help. he made our dealings very human and personal and was super friendly and helpful all along the way. He understood the urgency of receiving the statue by Dec 31 and took the initiative to make it happen. When the delivery people dropped the ball and claimed they would deliver by Jan 4 at the earliest, Kyle took customer relations to a whole new level, advising me what to say to the shipping company and calling them repeatedly to find a solution even the though the issue really wasn't his to solve. In the end we did receive the statue on time and it is beautiful. This was a gift for a very special family and it really made the year! Thanks again!

After looking all over the web, this was the place with the best choices. The statue arrived beautifully wrapped 8 days after I ordered it. It is perfect for the chosen spot. Thankyou.

It arrived a week after placing the order having crossed half the world! I am delighted with the genuine look and feel of the Dancing Shiva statue, it is a very worthwhile present.

He loved, after the long journey, to have a banana for prasad. He likes to eat sweet things from mother nature, to listen to the Hanuman Chalisa, to meditate, to radiate love and to receive a puja. His energy is so strong (even at the time of the arrivel, and I've never had this experience with new statues before. Thank You so much!) Jai Hanuman!

Kali and Siva Reviewed by Irene Scarth (AKA Kali) on 11/09/2015 (Delta, BC) Delivery was prompt, and the statue of Kali is beautiful. Thank you!

two stone Buddhas Reviewed by Ray Horn on 11/04/2015 (Corpus Christi, Texas) I do like both statues.....but the color is very different from the "very saffron color' you show and describe online. Some of that color does appear in small amounts here and there, but the overall color is dark brown, almost a wet mud color. It may be that the saffron will appear in time with some weathering. I'm not really disappointed, but since you requested a review I elected to mention this.

Exactly what I had hoped for. Reviewed by Janna Pijoan on 10/12/2015 (South Beach, Oregon) I searched for a particular size of a statue I was looking for and couldn't find it until I located Lotus Sculpture. Their selection is wonderful, the description and photo was accurate, and their service is amazingly prompt. I'm quite pleased...thank you!

I have used both works as a focus of meditations and have adorned both with jewels. They are now part of my life. Much gratitude to Kyle and the artists for making these sculptures available. Blessings and Love, Jai Guru Dev Lorey Hobbs

In the future I recommend making sure the photo is a better representative of the true color. This is hard, I know, but the color was blue in the photo, and the description said blue as well, but the actual stones are decidedly green. I still love the statue, however!

Most Pleased with Three Stone Garden Statues Reviewed by Hans Brinkerhoff on 09/17/2015 (Mukilteo, Washington) We recently purchased three beautiful-beyond-description stone garden statues from Lotus Sculpture (LS): Lava Resin Ganesh 12” tall, Stone Buddha 15” tall, Stone Buddha 32” tall. During our travels abroad we discovered the beauty of rustic hand-carved stone statues from Indonesia. We searched all Pacific Northwest retail options in vain for this style of artwork. Fortunately we found Kyle and LS on-line. To our delight we found what we were looking for at a price that was affordable. We originally planned to travel to LS to look at the pieces, however several posts indicated the photos are accurate. That was our experience as well. The statues are breathtaking. Poetic. The complete transaction was a joy. Kyle is a treasure and takes great care by respecting the artwork, the artisans and the LS customers. We are very satisfied Lotus Sculpture customers and are planning to add more to our collection in the near future. Thank you so much Kyle.

An exceptional collection Reviewed by IC Chatterji on 09/15/2015 (Guttenberg, NJ) We bought a "Utharva Tandava" bronze Shiva statute although we initially wanted a classic "Nataraja". We looked online and in NYC stores but couldn't find something that would suit as an entryway piece instead of a "pooja" room. This particular statue was unique in its composition and had the right finish that we desired. Ordering process was simple and since it was a Labor Day weekend, shipping confirmation came a day later. The statue came in an almost weatherproof package on the exact delivery day stated in the invoice. Up close, the statue held up to our expectations and we are happy with our decision to go with Lotus Sculpture. The only disappointment in our purchase was that were expecting a "larger" statue but it seems that we misjudged some of the dimensions given online. A useful improvement to the description of sculptures would be more details on the dimensions such as outer frame and inner frame dimensions.

Quality Sculpture and Service Reviewed by Nathan Peruman on 09/15/2015 (Walnut Creek, CA) I found the quality of the Ganesha sculpture I ordered to be above average. My order was processed right away. I was notified when the item shipped. I felt the website was easy to navigate and the photo of the item I ordered provided a good indication of what I was ordering. The whole experience was excellent. Nathan Peruman

High quality products and customer service Reviewed by April Cantafio on 09/12/2015 (Edmonton, Alberta) I recently purchased a Lava stone Garden Ganesha as well as a Nataraj statue. From the beginning the customer was service was excellent, quick responses and the owner searched for the most economical way to ship the statues. Once shipped they arrived within two days… amazing, especially considering the last book I purchased from Amazon took two months to get here. Upon arrival, they were securely packed and looked amazing! I was recommended this company by a friend and I am Super happy with everything from products to service, would definitely recommend and purchase from here again! Thank you!

Excellent packaging and service. Reviewed by Leo Abada on 09/03/2015 (Brampton, ON) Wonder if you carry Buddha head 18" to 24" high the same material as the statue I just bought.

Great statues! Reviewed by George Balmer on 09/02/2015 (Savannah, Georgia) I recently purchased a Ganesh statue as a gift. When it arrived it was just as I had imagined. The packaging was done in several layers giving the small Ganesh plenty of protection from the handling while being shipped. Thank you Kyle and staff.

Relaxing Ganesha Reviewed by Divya Naveenan on 08/09/2015 (santa clara, CALIFORNIA) Loved your collection and excellent service.

great selection of fine art. Reviewed by Larry Wheelock on 08/02/2015 (Monroe, NY) In spite of some difficulty with your on line order form I am very satisfied with your personal service, selection of art, packing and shipping. The Shiva I ordered is everything I hoped for and arrived promptly in excellent condition. The on line order form issue was that I was unable to enter the expiration date for my credit card. Once a phone connection was made Kyle completed the oder promptly. Thanks for your great service.

Great statue and great company! Reviewed by David Zappasodi on 07/24/2015 (Encinitas, Ca) We loved everything about our experience getting a statue from Lotus Sculpture. They were very friendly and helpful, and we love our Buddha statue that is sitting in the garden! Can't recommend them enough!

Very Happy Customer Reviewed by Todd McDowell on 07/21/2015 (Cocoa, Florida) My overall experience with Lotus Sculpture and owner Kyle Tortora was nothing less then first class. Customer service and shipping was A+++++. I would recommend Kyle and his company Lotus Sculpture to anyone who is looking for fine Hindu and Buddhist Decorative Statutes. He's done all the travels and hard work to locate these beautiful pieces from around the world. The four pieces I purchased made me extremely happy since they exceeded my standards and overall expectations. I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out from start to finish.

Cosmetics Hide Blemishes Reviewed by Richard Doyle on 07/19/2015 (Walla Walla, WA) I always remove paint or any other coating on a metal piece. The extra coatings hide a lot of imperfections. Generally things I have bought here are of sufficient qualities for the money spent. Kyle in the past has been more than fair. This is fine. I'll work with it. An excellent place to buy. Richard Doyle
