Description

This striking black granite sculpture represents Karuppa Swami, a powerful village guardian deity revered in the Tamil regions of South India, particularly in Madurai. Karuppa is worshipped for his unwavering protection, swift justice, and fierce devotion to dharma.

He is shown standing upright in a dynamic pose, with one hand resting on his hip and the other holding a mace, a symbol of strength and authority. His other hand raises a curved sword, a clear emblem of his readiness to protect devotees from injustice and negative forces. The tall conical crown, finely carved jewelry, and traditional dhoti showcase the attention to regional detail that connects this piece deeply to Tamil Nadu's sacred folk art traditions.

Made from dense, weather-resistant granite, this statue is ideal for outdoor temple settings, gardens, or as a spiritual sentinel at the threshold of a home or shrine. Karuppa's presence evokes fierce protection, strength, and spiritual grounding.

About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.

"The statue chooses you.

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