Dvarapalas are the fierce temple gate guardians of Hindu and Buddhist tradition, positioned in pairs at the entrances of sacred sites across Indonesia and Southeast Asia to ward off evil and protect the sanctity of the space within. Modeled on the guardians of ancient Javanese temples, they embody protective strength wrapped in devotion, their intimidating expressions reserved for harmful forces while all who enter in good spirit pass safely between them.

Each guardian kneels on one knee in the traditional gatekeeper posture, gripping a massive knobbed club that rises upright from hand to shoulder height. Their broad faces stare forward with wide bulging eyes, thick curled mustaches, and bared teeth beneath ornate headbands crowning tightly ringed curls. Layered beaded necklaces with floral medallions hang across their bare chests, and their rounded bellies rest above patterned sashes and belts, with snakes coiling around their arms as living armbands. Sturdy bare feet ground each figure to its thick rectangular plinth. Carved in grey stone with a rustic, weathered finish, one guardian carrying natural moss accumulation for aged character, and standing 37 inches tall, this pair is well suited to flanking a garden gate, doorway, or path entrance, their surfaces deepening in tone with rain.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

~ Kyle Tortora, Founder, Lotus Sculpture ~

Lava stone statues from Bali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.

Lava stone's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!

The delivery charges include insurance, a residential lift gate delivery to your home or business. The freight company will call you to schedule a delivery day and time frame to make the delivery. Someone must be present to receive the statue. Depending on where you are located we will use either R&L Carriers, UPS Freight, Estes, DHX or Roadrunner Transport.
The freight company will use a lift gate to bring the sculpture to the ground and then use a pallet jack to move it anywhere on the same level. They will move it anywhere in your driveway or in your garage. They will not take it to your backyard or in the elevator to your apartment or up or down any steps. They will not be unpacking the statue and taking the crate away. Think of them as you would UPS or Fedex. They only deliver the statue. If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift.
