White Ceramic Lokapala Guardian Over Fanged Other Worldly Figure.
The presence of a bird on the Lokapala Guardian's head in Hindu folklore serves as a symbolic representation of his ability to control the wind and air. Additionally, the bird is often associated with the god of the heavens and the universe, Vishnu. In this context, the bird reinforces the Lokapala Guardian's status as a powerful and benevolent protector responsible for safeguarding the four cardinal points of the universe. The bird on his head may illustrate the transcendental connection to the celestial realm and signify his divine authority over the natural forces.
Lokapala, also known as "Worldly Guardian," is a concept from Hindu mythology that refers to a group of celestial beings responsible for protecting and maintaining the balance of the universe. These beings are believed to reside in the four cardinal directions and are tasked with safeguarding the celestial spheres and their inhabitants, as well as keeping the cosmic order. In some depictions, Lokapalas are also lord guardians of the four seas and rivers.
Size: 4 x 3 x 10 in.
