Dhanvantari

The physician of the gods, who came out of the churning of the ocean holding the pot of amrit. He sits here in a scalloped arch with the sun above him, four arms, the amrit kalash held at his chest, the chakra raised in one hand, the conch in another, a sprig of herbs in the fourth. Herb sprigs climb the arch on both sides. One tea light sits at the front of the base, below him.

Craftsmanship

Real metal, formed over the sculpted shape rather than cast, so the face stays soft and the leaf veins stay sharp. The metal is bonded to the surface, not painted or plated, so it will not chip or rub off. Raised antique gold against a blackened ground, with the figure carried in the deepest relief so it holds its own against the arch.

Dimensions and weights are approximate. Each piece is made and finished by hand, so small variations are normal.

Choosing a size

Large: a clinic reception, a consulting room, a wellness or yoga space, an entryway on Dhanteras.

Small: a consulting desk, a bedside table, a mandir or pooja shelf.

Both sizes take the same 38 mm tea light, so the flame is identical. On the large it is one element beneath the arch; on the small it sits nearer the centre of the piece, closer to the way a diya reads. On Dhanteras either one goes out at the entrance with the diyas.

Gifting

Dhanteras is Dhanvantari Jayanti, so this is the piece for that morning. It goes to doctors, dentists, vaidyas, physiotherapists and anyone who opened a practice this year, and it works for a get well soon and a new clinic.

Care

Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Do not immerse in water. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
