This bronze Panchaloha Maa Ganga statue from the temple town of Swamimalai depicts the river goddess as a young maiden, standing gracefully atop her “vahana” or mount “Makara”- a mythical animal, who is an amalgamation of crocodile, elephant, lion and some aquatic creature.

Goddess in this bronze representation is adorned with a tiara made by the hoods of seven snakes, queenly ornaments, and a sheer dhoti (lower body garment). The features of Maa Ganga are especially elongated- from her extended face to her slim physique, this goddess Ganga bronze shows her as a slender, young woman.

Devi’s left hand is in the elegant “Lolahastha” mudra, while her right hand is raised in the “Katakhastha” mudra, presumably for holding a floral offering. The aureole of the mother goddess is formed by the “Kalpavriksha” or the wish-fulfilling tree, whose ability to bestow life-affirming boons mirrors the powers of goddess Ganga, who is the primal source of enrichment for all life forms. 

Frequently Asked Questions
