    The products one can find in Shivarapattna are mainly idols and statues for temples. The figures represented are common figures and deities of the Hindu religion. The same designs have been used for generations, respecting the traditional proportions of the sculptures. Generally the statues have the natural colour of the stone, but they can also be painted, in black or various colours.

    The colours are made of local fruits, as sarkai, annabra and kenbabari (dry fruit). They are heated, melted and used as colour pigment. The artisans can also create personalized sculptures of their clients, whose picture is kept in front of the statue as the work progress. The finest the lines are, the more expensive the product will be. The price for one statue can be up to Rs. 25/- and a set of 4 statues costs Rs. 100/-. The price depends also on the dimensions of the idol.
