Krishna is one of the most dynamic gods ever to set foot on this land. While he is the greatest Yogi expounding the immense knowledge of Geeta, he could also be found stealing butter from his village households.
Every phase of his life carries a different fragrance. The child figure of Krishna has been greatly celebrated and loved by the people of this land. He is worshipped as a son, a brother, and even as a friend in his child form.
As per the legends, he loved butter more than anything else and even went on to the extent of stealing it with his friends. Although expressing rage on the surface, the Gopis felt greatly blessed and delighted that Krishna stole their butter.
This beautiful bronze statue has elegantly portrayed Krishna with childlike innocence and enchanting simplicity. The face of the lord has been brilliantly crafted so as to express joyful beauty and divine serenity. The statue has illustrated Krishna sitting with his feet folded and a pot full of butter in his hands.
He is barely dressed but adorned with exquisite pieces of jewelry. The two birds on his sides are adding to the beauty of the statue. The brilliant craftsmen of Swamimalai have done an exemplary work by illustrating the perfect child Krishna, devoid of his ageless maturity and shining knowledge.
This statue is the perfect example of beauty meeting simplicity. In its very simple gestures, the statue carries something of the beyond, something very divine. And that divinity has found its perfect expression in the brilliant simplicity of this enchanting statue.
Eternal Brilliance Unveiled: The Mystique of Panchaloha Bronze and Artful Maintenance Rituals
Bronze is a metal alloy that has the primary composition of Copper and Tin. There is also an addition of other metals such as Manganese, Aluminium, Nickel, and some non-metals such as Phosphorus. This composition of several metals and non-metals makes Bronze an extremely durable and strong metal alloy. It is for this reason that Bronze is extensively used for casting sculptures and statues. Since Bronze has a low melting point, it usually tends to fill in the finest details of a mould and when it cools down, it shrinks a little that makes it easier to separate from the mould.
" If you happen to have a bronze statue, simply use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or any other natural oil to clean the statue. "
A village named Swamimalai in South India is especially known for exceptionally well-crafted Bronze icons of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. The skilled artisans of this place use Panchaloha Bronze for casting the icons. Panchaloha Bronze is made of five metals; Copper, Zinc, Lead, and small quantities of Gold and Silver. Zinc gives a golden hue to the finished figure and Lead makes the alloy softer for the easy application of a chisel and hammer. The common technique for producing these statues and sculptures is the “Lost-wax” method. Because of the high durability of bronze sculptures and statues, less maintenance is required, and can still last up to many decades.
Exotic India takes great pride in its collection of hand-picked Panchaloha Statues. You will find the murtis of Gods (Krishna, Hanuman, Narasimha, Ganesha, Nataraja, and Kartikeya) and Goddesses (Saraswati, Lakshmi, Durga, and Parvati), and Buddha statues. You can also buy Ritual paraphernalia (Wicks lamp, Puja Kalash, Cymbals, and Puja Flag) on the website. All these statues and items have been made with a lot of care and attention, giving them a flawless finish. Their fine carving detail represents the rich tradition of India.
