These deities represent psychological aspects of the human condition. Each work seeks to convey a philosophical teaching through its narrative. It is said that the creation of these icons is meritorious act and that they will bring good visualization /focus and luck to the bearer. These works are intended to inspire beauty, reverence, curiosity and thought.
