“Archa”- the worshipped image
“a personal god, luminous, and complete with all the auspicious qualities; it is transcendent and supreme, yet accessible- a bit of heaven on earth”. This majestic Panchaloha Sri Vishnu statue is a divine example of the worshipped image, embodying all the celestial qualities of the protector of Universe. On a double tiered platform, Vishnu stands in his Chaturbhuja roopa, carrying Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus) in two hands, the gesture of Abhaya or fearlessness, and placing one hand near his waist gracefully. His ornaments- Kiritamukuta crown, earrings and armbands are adorned with Makara motif, which symbolises royalty and divinity. His form is ornamented with jeweled articles and a fine dhoti whose folds around his legs create a beautiful effect.
A lovely smile playing on the countenance of Vishnu instils a sense of liveliness in the composition. Finess of sculpting in the details of this bronze, speak for the skills of Tamil sculptors, whose dextrous hands fill metal with a deific aura, perfecting it for the god’s essence to reside in the murti.
