This South Indian panel of Madurai Veeran is from Tamil Nadu. Madurai Veeran is a Tamil folk deity and the warrior of Madurai. This panel is from a temple chariot locally called ter or Ratha Yatra. These chariots are decorated with carved sacred scenes and images of deities. These sculptures are the finest wooden sculptures found in Tamil Nadu. This example dates to the 19th century and is made from teak wood.

Ratha Yatra temples were so large, that they had to be pulled through the streets by teams of devotional worshipers often hundreds strong. Beautiful carvings like this adorned the chariots. In Orissa the Ratha Yatra carry an image of Krishna known locally as Lord Jaganath. This is the origin of the word Juggernaut which we use to describe large trucks.

We've added a base in our workshop to turn it into a fantastic centerpiece ornament that would make a stunning addition to any room in your home.
