Celebrate divine presence with our Lord Guruvayurappan (Vishnu) sculpture, a harmonious creation through Madhuchista Vidhanam in Swamimalai's Panchaloha Bronze. This artwork beautifully portrays Vishnu in his Guruvayur form. The infant form of Lord Krishna, known as Guruvayurappan, is mostly revered in Kerala. He is the principal deity of the Keralan temple of Guruvayur. The god manifests as Lord Krishna in his baby form. In this statue with four arms, the god is standing and holding a conch, a chakra, a mace, and a lotus. This statue is beyond comprehension and carries one of the finest examples of bronze craftsmanship from the Southern corners of India.
Here, the Lord stands on a beautiful pedestal, revered with a lotus flower garland. The highlight of the art piece is the beautiful peacock feather crown that is an extension of the Kirat Mukuta. There is also a Siras Chakra to enhance the beauty of the Mukuta. The artist has put his heart and soul into the statue, which can be seen in the form of the beautifully carved pleats of the dhotiu of the Lord. Beyond its artistic allure, the sculpture embodies the Hindu philosophical concept of 'Divine Reverence,' symbolizing the worship and adoration of the supreme deity. The lost wax technique details Guruvayurappan's divine form, inviting you to connect with the reverence and devotion that transcends worldly boundaries.
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.

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.
