ISKCON OF CA

We are to propagate spiritual knowledge to society and to educate people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace... The sculptures were built by Hare Krishna artists of Los Angeles in late 70's, using methods essentially the same as those used in ancient India. The basic materials - bamboo, rice straw, various clays, and rice husk - are the same, as are the process of finishing, painting, and dressing the dolls... The museum consists of stunning life-size dioramas of clay-work dolls combining India's yogic wisdom and sculpture artistry with America's multimedia tech.
