Throughout history, the tortoise has been a symbol of longevity and wisdom. In many cultures, a tortoise figurine is believed to bring good luck and peace.
In India, the tortoise is believed to be sacred and represents one of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu. In the Matsya Purana, Kurma, Lord Vishnu’s second incarnation, once supported the mortal and heavenly realms on its back, during Samudra Manthan.
Tortoise has great significance both in Vastu & in Feng Shui

This ethnic community of metalsmiths have kept their art alive through generations and given it their name. The members of this community are scattered extensively throughout West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Telangana
