Hindu God Statues | Antique Ganesha, Shiva & Vishnu | 1stBuddha

Hindu god statues bring a temple tradition into the home. At 1stBuddha we sell antique and vintage images of the main Hindu deities, Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Parvati, Brahma and Krishna, mostly in bronze and gilt bronze, from India, Nepal and Indonesia.

The deities we carry

You will most often meet Ganesha, the elephant-headed remover of obstacles, and Shiva, shown standing or as Nataraja, the lord of the dance. Vishnu appears standing or as a crowned bust, Lakshmi as the goddess of wealth, and Parvati beside Shiva. Brahma is recognisable by his four faces, Krishna by the flute.

Each listing names the deity and the mudra or posture where it is clear. Where an attribution is uncertain, we say so rather than guess.

Materials and origin

Bronze and gilt bronze dominate the collection. Many pieces come from South India and Nepal, where the Newar casting tradition has been strong for centuries. Others are Indonesian or made in Khmer or Thai style. The period is stated per piece, often the seventeenth to nineteenth century.

Placement and care

These are devotional images as well as works of art, so placement deserves care. A house altar or a quiet shelf at eye level is common. Keep gilt bronze dry, dust it gently, and do not use polish. For a heavier piece, make sure the shelf or base can carry the weight.
