Sandstone sculpture, 'Arjuna the Ascetic' Art Gallery Sculpture Stone Marble Sculpture Cultural 
This sculpture of Arjuna is chiseled by the skilled hands
of Bali's Wayan Kandiyasa. The subject of this piece, Arjuna,
is the charioteer of the sun in the Hindu tales
of Mahabharata. Arjuna's figure epitomizes the power and restraint of
his enviable responsibility. Kandiyasa portrays him in the lotus position
of meditation in his role as ascetic. He prays to
the gods for a divine weapon of supernatural powers. The
intricate pattern and shape of Arjuna's headdress and his elaborate
and ornate costume denote his stature. Devotion and beauty emanate
from this work.
