Archamuritis,
in general, are made of wood, metal and stone darulohasilanirmitas. And so
immutable. Times change not, nor trends alter their size, shape and posture.
Static as they are, certainly scare away dynamism with a single look. The
artists try of the sculptors bends the heads of Viswakarma and Maya, leave alone
the divinities, who enthralled by their superb finish and polish mumble,
"What a beauty! How enchanting!! I very much wish to be. like
that!!!". The celestials may not verbally commit this, but covertly aspire
for it. That is the glory of the sculptural art. Either in the past or present,
the builders of temples have been employing the gifted master artists to work on
the inanimate objects, which when completed appear more graceful and elegant,
euphonious and gorgeous. Mesmerized asthetes return to normally after hours as a
matter of fact. Such is the power of archamurtis on the onlookers. This factor
is contributing to luring the devotees to some extent, of course. the divinity
embedded in them is the chief source of perennial attraction. Proof for the
reputation of this feature neither exists in records. nor future can create.
