Among the various types of sculptures that have come to symbolize and represent India, the ones that have emerged as the most popular ones are the ones that depict the concept of gods and goddesses. Being sculpted out of bronze, these statues were found to be a more refined and modern version of the ancient Indian idols. With time, the artists who create these sculptures have also gone through a process of evolution wherein they have added different facets into their works. Sculptures of the Gods and Goddesses of India have also come to symbolize the different ideals and characteristics that men and women try to follow in their lives – ideals like truth and justice, love and compassion, vegetarianism, and adherence to the social and cultural norms that prevail in the society today.
Another sculpture type that has become popular in India is the wooden representation of the Hindu deity Ganesh. Made from the finest kinds of wood, these artistic pieces have become some of the bestsellers in the country. There are many other types of Indian sculpture artists that have successfully used wood and bronze casting techniques to create beautiful pieces of art.
