Statues appear in many cultures. The earliest images were made of mud or clay, but as civilization progressed, the ability to form more permanent images of metal evolved. On the Indian sub- continent, well-formed metal images appear from 3000 BC onwards. Initial images were secular but later acquired religious connotations, giving physical form to spiritual ideals.

Different deities appeal to different psychological make-ups. By meditating on the image to which the practitioner is drawn, he/she can further internalize the qualities which the image represents. This helps one progress down a spiritual path.
