Invoke divine blessings with our Lord Chaturbhujadhari Ganesha, a manifestation of the Haridra Ganapati, Seated on Throne sculpture, a unique creation through Madhuchista Vidhanam in Swamimalai's Panchaloha Bronze. This artwork beautifully captures Ganesha uniquely, seated on a throne. Beyond its artistic finesse, the sculpture embodies the Hindu philosophical concept of 'Divine Authority,' symbolizing Ganesha's role as the lord of wisdom and guidance.
His broken tusk, an elephant goad, a noose, and his favorite treat, the delicious Modak (dumpling), are all in his four hands. He sits on a lotus pedestal under a Prabhavali, which signifies his status as a patron of light. Believers think the Lord would use the noose to bring them near to him and use it as a goad to help them advance in life. The lost-wax technique details the divine posture, inviting you to appreciate the cosmic significance of Ganesha's authoritative presence.
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.
