At the Poompuhar workshop, large procession idols are made for temples as per orders from both India and abroad. Smaller pieces are made for prayer spaces at home. Sculptures are also made for display as art pieces. The subjects are strictly religious in nature and innovation is limited within Hindu themes.
Most sculptures are copies of those produced in the preceding centuries, especially the Chola era. Ready pieces are showcased at a small display area in front of the workshop. Custom orders are accepted for both temple idols and decorative sculptures.
