Sikki Grass is a long, shiny, golden-coloured grass obtained from the lands of Bihar, particularly Mithila, used for weaving and decorating various objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the centre of the composition is Lord Mahavira, seated in sukhasana, the meditative pose under a parasol. He is placed on an elongated pedestal. At the centre of the pedestal is his lanchan (the sacred symbol), the lion, identifying him as Lord Mahavira. His pose is rendered with calmness and serenity. He is bare-bodied. At the centre of the chest is the srivasta (an auspicious mark), symbolising his enlightened self. The face is round-shaped with kamalnayan or lotus-eyes, half closed with an elongated nose and fuller lips. The elongated earlobes, the presence of an urna on the forehead and trivali (three lines) incised on the neck symbolise his enlightenment and awakening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is frontal with balanced symmetry. The Lord is framed by a divine halo, intricately woven and topped with the elaborate canopy, delineated realistically. Surrounding him, the landscape is rendered such that the grass, shrubs and the tree are rendered with waves at the foreground level in a stylistic manner. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dhirendra Kumar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67799247651030,"sku":null,"price":60000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Lord_Mahavira_in_Sikki_Grass_Craft_by_Dhirendra_Kumar.jpg?v=1793100653","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/lord-mahavira-in-sikki-grass-craft-by-dhirendra-kumar","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
