{"product_id":"ashtamukha-gandabherunda-narasimha-pendant-ldf012","title":"Ashtamukha Gandabherunda Narasimha Sterling Silver Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are forms in Indian iconography so layered with meaning that a single glance is never quite enough.\n\nThe Ashtamukha Gandabherunda Narasimha is one such form: eight-faced, two-headed, and ferocious in its grace. This sterling silver pendant distils that impossible mythology into a compact icon measuring approximately 4 centimetres in height and 3.8 centimetres in width, and weighing 15 grams. The rendering belongs to the deep south's tradition of devotional silverwork, where karigars trained in temple-town ateliers, particularly in the lineages of Nagercoil and Thanjavur, have long translated scripture into wearable form. The Gandabherunda, the two-headed mythical bird fused here with the leonine Narasimha, is a motif beloved in Karnataka and Tamil Vaishnava iconography. The surface carries the characteristic hand-chased detailing of this tradition: raised feathers, crown motifs and multiple arms rendered with deliberate, unhurried precision in pure sterling silver.\n\nWorn on a heavy silk cord or a sterling silver chain, this pendant reads powerfully against a deep-toned Kanjeevaram or a simple cream kurta for a festival morning. For the diaspora wearer, it pairs with a plain linen shirt, letting the iconography speak without ornament.\n\nAt free size with a secure bail, the pendant sits naturally at the chest without twisting. Sterling silver develops a gentle patina over time; a soft cloth restores its original brightness. At 15 grams, it has welcome presence without strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 inch Height X 1.5 inch Width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.0 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e LDF012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exotic India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67889986961628,"sku":"LDF012","price":13287.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4082\/6588\/files\/ldf012.webp?v=1792855202","url":"https:\/\/exoticindia.co.in\/products\/ashtamukha-gandabherunda-narasimha-pendant-ldf012","provider":"Exotic India Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
