{"product_id":"pillayarpatti-karpaga-ganesha-pendant-lde886","title":"Pillayarpatti Karpaga Vinayaka Sterling Silver Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are deities who are prayed to, and then there are deities who are inhabited by a place.\n\nPillayarpatti, in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga district, is one of the oldest Ganesha shrines in the south, and the Karpaga Ganesha enshrined there, the wish-fulfilling one, carries a particular gravity that devotees have carried home in silver for generations. This pendant honours that tradition faithfully. Cast in sterling silver and worked to a weight of seven grams, the piece measures approximately 3.2 centimetres in height by 2.2 centimetres in width, a compact silhouette that does not miniaturise the deity so much as concentrate him. The surface treatment follows the conventions of South Indian temple jewellery: the figure is rendered in relief, the contours of the rounded form given depth through careful hand-finishing that brings out the trunk, the modak, the seated posture of abundance and benediction. No stones interrupt the metal; the silver itself is the statement, and it is the better for that restraint.\n\nWorn on a fine silver chain over a Kanjivaram silk at a grihapravesham or a wedding function, the pendant reads as devotional without being austere. On a daily basis, it sits quietly against a cotton kurta, an act of faith carried into the ordinary.\n\nThe free-size bail accommodates most chain widths. At seven grams in sterling silver, the pendant is light enough for all-day wear, substantial enough to feel considered, and honest in its material from the first fastening.\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 1.25 Inch Height x 0.85 Inch Width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e LDE886\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exotic India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67889849827548,"sku":"LDE886","price":6386.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4082\/6588\/files\/lde886.webp?v=1792854596","url":"https:\/\/exoticindia.co.in\/products\/pillayarpatti-karpaga-ganesha-pendant-lde886","provider":"Exotic India Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
