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.
