This exquisite antique granite statue, originating from a Jain temple in Rajasthan, India, represents Indra, depicted as a carrier of a flyfan. Measuring 53.5 cm in height, including its stand, the granite figure stands at 39 cm. Dating back to the 14th century, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich spiritual and artistic heritage of Jainism.

Jain art is characterized by its intricate detailing and symbolic representation, often highlighting divine figures and their attributes. Indra, a prominent deity in Jain cosmology, is commonly associated with the protection of the righteous, making his presence in Jina images significant. The flyfan, or chamar, signifies respect and honor, emblematic of Indra's role as a divine protector.

Rajasthan, known for its historical temples and rich craftsmanship, serves as a backdrop for this remarkable piece, reflecting the artistic endeavors of the era. The meticulous carving and use of granite not only demonstrate the skill of the artisans but also the enduring quality of materials chosen for sacred representations. Weighing 12.9 kg, this statue encapsulates a timeless tradition, offering both historical and aesthetic value to collectors and enthusiasts of religious art.
