Frequently Asked Questions

⭐ Why is the Yali believed to be more powerful than a lion or elephant?

The Yali's power comes from its hybrid nature, combining the strength of several apex animals. Mythologically, it represents the ultimate, untamed cosmic power that transcends the limits of any single earthly creature, making it the most potent guardian.

⭐ Should I place a single Yali or a pair at my entrance?

Traditionally, Yalis are often placed in pairs flanking the entrance of a temple or gateway to signify complete protection and symmetry. For a home or office, a single, commanding statue can be used, but two are ideal for flanking a main doorway.

⭐ What specific materials were Yalis originally carved from in temples?

In ancient South Indian temples, Yali sculptures were most commonly carved from granite and basalt stone, which offered the necessary durability and hardness required for external architectural pillars and friezes.

⭐Is the Yali a deity to be worshipped, or strictly a decorative guardian?

The Yali is generally classified as a guardian creature (Dwarapalaka) and a mythological motif, not a primary deity like Shiva or Vishnu. It is revered for its protective power but does not typically receive formal daily puja like an idol.
