Sur-guru or Devaguru, a title for Brihaspati, the planet Jupiter in Hindu tradition underlines the brilliance and powers of the planetary deity. In this granite statue, Brihaspati appears as the establisher of order, balance, and stability, virtues required for a successful and fulfilled life.
Worshipped as the bestower of grandeur and knowledge, Brihaspati holds the rosary and lotus- symbols of pure wisdom in his hands, along with a sword.
Dressed in a dhoti whose folds are finely sculpted in beautiful symmetry, Brihaspati wears a Vaishnava elongated crown and ornaments similar to Sri Vishnu, while also standing in the upright pose, with one hand on waist- a classic posture of Vishnu in his sculptures- a similarity due to their shared sphere of power, where they preserver Dharma in the cosmos.
