Sthapatis are the masters of this age old wax molding process which produce beautiful and elegant bronze sculptors. Hand skill can be mechanized. Mathematical calculations and geometry can be computerized but the inspiration and the occult knowledge derived from generation to generation by Sthapatis can neither be mechanized nor computerized. Sthapatis possess this inspiration and knowledge which needs to be recognized, honored and preserved.
