Many Indian sages have remarked that few worshippers can understand the abstract essence of the formless Absolute. Most people need to approach the Divine through images and rituals specific to a single deity. Statues and sculptures are created as receptacles for spiritual energy, and each is an essential link that allows a person to experience direct communion with his or her Gods and Goddesses. Although artistic merit is important to devout Hindus, it is secondary to spiritual content.
