  • Unlike other deities, Aparimita is never depicted with a consort, emphasizing his solitary nature.

Crafted Using the Lost-Wax Casting Process

This statue is meticulously created using the Lost-Wax Casting technique, an ancient and revered method known for its precision and artistry.

• Steps in the Process:
  1. A detailed wax model is sculpted, capturing every intricate detail of Aparimita.
  2. The model is coated with layers of ceramic material, forming a robust mold.
  3. After curing, the wax is melted and drained, leaving a hollow cavity.
  4. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, replicating the original design with precision.
  5. The ceramic shell is removed, revealing the final metal sculpture.
• Significance of Lost-Wax Casting:
  • Ensures exceptional detail and accuracy.
  • Preserves the artistic integrity of the original design.
