Nammalvar is among the most revered Alavar saints in Tamil Vaishnavism, appearing in this bronze as a revered devotee.
The Panchaloha statue brings this vision of devotion to life with striking naturalism.
Nammalvar’s open gaze, expressive yet serene, seems to follow the viewer, making the sculpture vibrantly lifelike.
Adorned in a traditional tilted hairdo, jeweled earrings, and a sacred thread, he bears the Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus) symbols on his shoulders, affirming his devotion to Vishnu.
In Chinmudra, the gesture of knowledge, and Dhyana mudra, his meditative stance, the saint is a figure of wisdom and peace. Even the reverse of the statue is finely detailed, with a beautifully stylized yajnopavita (sacred thread) and tightly crafted hairdo. The dhoti drapes with a silken fluidity, highlighting the heavenly aura of the saint.
