A three-deity ensemble to grace your home or office temple. Lord Perumal, as the great Vishnu is worshipped in South India, stands between His wives, Shri Devi and Bhu Devi.
The figurines are discrete: each stands upon its own pedestal, which is an upturned lotus with its mouth against a two-tiered, quadrilateral plinth. The regal Perumal stands with His spine erect.
The anterior right hand of His four hands (He is chaturbhujadhari) is raised in blessing over His devotees. A tall, tapering crown sits on His head. It sets off the slender, gracious form of the Lord.
The figures of His devoted wives have taken after Him; they are slender, but more curvaceous, and the language of their bodies is distinctly feminine. The crowns on their heads are more ornately sculpted.
This set of three panchaloha sculptures from Swamimalai would be a valuable addition to your collection from the point of view of aesthetics.
The medium of panchaloha, a blend of five iron-based alloys, is unique to the region. The finish of the murtis - from colour to iconography - are a fine example of regional traditional art.
