Shiva Mandapam

Wood carving is a form of craft wherein artefacts are made by tools and chisel resulting in a wooden figure or figurine. A wood carver begins a carving by selecting a chunk of wood of the approximate size and shape of the figure he or she wishes to create or, if the carving is to be large, several pieces of wood may be joined together to create the required size. The type of wood is important. Hardwood is more difficult to shape but have greater lustre and longevity. Softer woods may be easier to carve but are more prone to damage. Once the sculptor selects the wood, he begins a general shaping process using gouges of various sizes. Once the general shape is made, the carver may use a variety of tools for creating details. This piece is handcrafted and the carving seen on the idol is intricately designed.
