Celebrate the act of creation with Shrishti Ganapati, a divine sculpture crafted through Madhuchista Vidhana in the sacred Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai. "Shrishti" signifies creation, and this artwork beautifully captures Lord Ganesha as the harbinger of new beginnings. Srishti Ganapati is the 23rd of the 32 various types of Ganapati. The Sanskrit word 'Srishti' simply means 'creation.' Srishti Ganapati, therefore, remains the God of creation, a function traditionally assigned to Lord Brahma. He is also said to be an intrinsic part of all his creations and, hence, the Lord of all cosmic manifestations.
Srishti Ganapati comes in a gentle appearance and is contentedly sitting on Mooshika Vahana, his well-known mouse horse. He has a single face and four hands, one grasping his broken tusk and the others carrying an elephant goad, noose, and mango fruit.
Each detail resonates with the creative energy that permeates the universe, inviting devotees to witness the cosmic dance of Shrishti Ganapati.
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.
