The Dashavatara in bronze. Dashavatara is a portmanteau of ‘dasha’, which means ten, and ‘avatara’, which means incarnation. The term refers to the ten earthly incarnations of the great Lord Vishnu. Each one appeared in the mortal realm of existence to the succour of pure dharma. In fact, the last of the Dashavatara, Lord Kalki, is yet to make His divine appearance.
Each of the ten statuettes has been carved with the greatest care and attention to detail. Zoom in on any of them to take in the iconographical perfection of each avatara, notwithstanding the scale of composition. The medium in question is panchaloha, a sacred alloy of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron.
It is the panchaloha medium that explains the lustrous, pale gold colour. Arranged neatly across any flat surface in your drawing room, office, or pooja-kaksha, these Dashavatara murtis would be a mark of the home of the truly devoted.
In this exquisite bronze-sculpted set sourced painstakingly from those regions, all ten avatars of Vishnu (named in the title) stand next to each other with stately grace and a divine composure. Bronze has been the preferred metal of sculpturors since time immemorial. Even though sculptures of brass are more abundant due to the commercial availability of the alloy - especially across the Exotic India website - it is bronze that has a more artistic, elite whiff to it. The glossy finish of this set of statues is sure to leave visitors to your home or office spellbound.
