Rahu — Cosmic Power
Rahu’s story is closely connected with eclipses and the movement of the heavens. During the churning of the Ocean of Milk, an asura secretly drank the nectar of immortality. The sun and moon revealed him to Narayana, who cast his discus and divided the asura’s body. Because he had already tasted the nectar, he survived: the head became Rahu and the remaining part became Ketu.
The account gives Rahu a place in traditions concerning change, uncertainty and destiny. Artmulet’s Rahu — Cosmic Power interprets this dramatic subject through contemporary Thai sacred sculpture.
The work invites its owner to meet difficult periods with mindfulness and courage. Its powerful forms express the energy of change while encouraging the steadiness needed to respond wisely.
