Kaalita is an exporter of fine Asian art. Our specialty is the reproduction of antique bronze religious statues of India’s Chola Dynasty. The iconic bronzes of the Chola Period are among the world's great religious art; however they are much more than superb examples of fine Asian art. Unique among bronze religious statues, these exquisite figures have been worshipped since the ninth century as the living embodiment of Hindu gods and goddesses. Borne aloft in procession, the figures of Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesha and Hanuman are draped in fine silks, adorned with jewels and garlands, anointed with fragrant oils and worshipped as living gods. The Indian bronze statues in our collection evoke a dignified sensuous grace, which echo that divine presence. Kaalita’s pieces are cast by hand in village workshops using a lost wax process unchanged in a thousand years. Age-old techniques, and a painstaking attention to finish and detail, ensure Kaalita’s bronzes are virtually indistinguishable from the antique Chola originals.
