Product details
This is a hand-painted wooden pair of Shiva and Parvati, made in the Etikoppaka style of turned-wood lacquer craft by artisans in Andhra Pradesh, standing together on a single decorated base rather than sold as loose figures. Shiva holds a Trishul with one hand raised in blessing, and Parvati stands beside him in an ornate gold crown and patterned red sari.
Product Highlights
•
Shiva and Parvati Figures - Shiva stands with a Trishul and a raised hand in blessing, Parvati beside him in a gold crown, both facing forward as a pair.
•
Etikoppaka Turned-Wood Craft - Made using Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, where wood is turned on a lathe before shaping and painting, a craft practised by artisans in Andhra Pradesh.
•
Rounded, Traditional Toy-Making Style - Carved in the soft, rounded form typical of this lathe-turned lacquer craft, rather than sharp-edged detailing.
•
Hand-Painted Detailing - Colours and clothing patterns are brush-painted by hand, so each set carries small individual differences.
•
Mounted on a Decorated Wooden Base - Both figures stand on a shared rectangular base with a painted leaf-vine border, raised on small feet.
•
Lightweight Wooden Build - Solid enough to stand steady, light enough to move or pack without strain.
•
Suited for Navratri Golu and Home Decor - Works as a golu display piece through the festival and as a shelf or console piece afterward.
•
Dimensions - Height 23 cm, width 16.5 cm, length 7.5 cm, weight close to 300 grams.

A Story-Rich Golu Addition - The Shiva-Parvati pairing brings a recognisable mythological theme to a golu arrangement, not just a decorative shape.

•
Manageable Size for Gifting or Shipping - Compact enough to pack and send without special handling.
Product Page FAQs
•
What does this Wooden Shiva Parvati set include?
One Shiva figure with a Trishul and one Parvati figure, both mounted together on a single decorated wooden base.
•
What is Etikoppaka craft, and is this set made that way?
Etikoppaka Bommalu is a turned-wood lacquer craft from Andhra Pradesh, where wood is shaped on a lathe and finished with hand-painted colour. This set is made using that technique.
•
Does the set come pre-fixed to the base, or do I need to assemble it?
Both figures are already fixed onto the base, so it's ready to place on your golu steps or shelf as soon as it arrives.
•
Is this meant for a golu display, or does it work as everyday home decor too?
Both. It's sized and finished to sit through a Navratri golu arrangement, and it holds up equally well as a standalone decor piece the rest of the year.
•
Is this set safe to keep around young children?
It's best kept as a display piece rather than a plaything, since the painted wooden parts aren't meant for handling by young children.
