The powerful lord is captured in his placid serenity in this lovely bronze statue. This vivid statue has been brought to life by the renowned sculptors of exotic India. The lord is seated on a somewhat elevated platform of shisha naga, with Devi Lakshmi on his left side. Both the Lord and the Devi are dressed elegantly and have exquisite jewellery adorning their bodies. The lord's and Devi's crowns are magnificent works of art.
Lord Narasimha is carrying a conch and a sword in his upper hands, both of which are Vaishnavite symbols. His right hand is in a benediction gesture while his lower left hand adores the Devi.
This serene calamity was captured when Narasimha was beyond the control of both humans and Devas. He vowed to annihilate the entire human race after killing Hiranyakashipu. They attempted a variety of methods to appease him. Lastly, Devas’s guru Brihaspati prayed to Goddess Lakshmi to soothe Narasimha.
Goddess Lakshmi appeared before her consort and who was in a rage. She tried to regain his composure and sat on his lap. She looked inside his raging eyes and told him that the evil has been defeated and Prahalada is saved. She asked his devotee to come forward and sing a stotram to please his lord. Prahalada touched his lord’s feet and started to praise the lord slowly and steadily his anger vanished and there was a pleasing look on his face. After, he turned into his previous form as Lord Vishnu.
The world relieved a sigh of relief and thanked Lakshmi for her arrival. The appearance of Maola-Narasimha is calm and tranquil. Together these deities shower the universe with benedictions.
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.
