Silver in Places of Worshipby Rajesh Gogna
My objective is to design and make an elaborate contemporary Silver (Chattar) which is a symbolic shelter that is suspended above the mighty Hindu Goddess- Durga Mata. The piece will be inspired by traditional religious motifs and the Architecture of Hindu Temples in North India. The final outcome will become the focal point within a Hindu Temple in Sandwell, West Midlands. During my research for this project I will visit various shrines in India, talking to priests and looking at the traditional production methods used by craftsman who produce existing religious silverware. All of the information compiled will be put together for viewing at the launch of my exhibition as an insight to the inspirations and history behind the traditions and rituals of the Hindu Culture.
