The artists who created the statue must have created it just as effortfully as the expressive efforts of the statue playing the shehnai. Look at the expression; it's so real! The efforts of the lungs and cheeks to play the flute-like instrument, are so well-crafted. Shehnai is an Indian instrument mostly used during rituals.
In Agroha, Hissar, Haryana, India, a statue of a shehnai player:
Yep, very true. I thought once is it real?

Remarkable statue...I actually spent three nights in Haryana at the home of a friend of a friend before my trip to Agra! That drive to Agra was such an experience - talk about scary traffic. I spent half the ride with my head in my hands, thinking I would never see my homeland again!
ReplyDelete@ RNSANE: That's India afterall; everything is chaos, but it's still going on! What a wonder, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool - so realistic, it looks like a human rather than a statue.
