short description
These words exhibited worship and reverence for Narayana, one among the important gods of Hinduism. This, in fact, is a piece of evidence from the wood-carved image by the Sutradhar tribe of Assam itself, preserving, protecting, and maintaining the cosmic order. It reflects how such a single piece of wood sculpted into a figurine can show the realistic artistry and craftsmanship of the Sutradhar tribe.Four-armed Narayana usually holds a conch shell, discus, mace, and lotus, which are the items signifying the divine use for life, power, and spirituality. Narayana represents stability and strength as he stands on a triangular pedestal.

The dark green body of the effigy signifies his being with the world that it is considered as an implication of nourisher to the life present all around. The yellow drape associated with this is indicative of the splendor of that divine essence along with the capability of creation. Those pure white spots on the face are meant much more than ordinary: they are used marks in the visual languages of purity, divine knowledge, and luminosity of being.This is what makes Sutradhara such a great tribe: the spirit of being able to relate to storytelling through woodcraft to its people. This is a way of life dedicated toward devotion, regal divinity, and the cosmic balance. The consequence of natural pigments on the tribal aesthetic represents simplicity by which this form celebrates its sacredness; thereby, it maps the spiritual presence of Lord Narayana but without finer ornamentation.More than pictures, they symbolize divine protection and cosmic harmony and are often included in rituals and temple worship. In excellent carvings, Sutradhars have transformed Lord Narayana from divine into human form, where it becomes both a sacred object and a living testament of the artistry of that tribe.
