Buddha’s Lions	The Buddha’s Lions each weigh a staggering 5 tonnes, while the lioness and her cubs tip the scales at approximately 5.5 to 6 tonnes.
Horse Family	The horse family boasts a weight of six tonnes. All of these extraordinary creations are crafted from either black or white marble.”
Shankhnaad	It draws inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita.	–
