A bronze artefact can transform your household decors to a different level of amazement, beautifying the entire room with its charming color and style. This Dashavatara wind chime is a perfect one to justify the beauty of bronze art.
The heavy chain at the top is used to hang the chime and the attached parasol is uniquely shaped in a circular motion topped with a gumbad-like (dome) structure and forms multiple layers that increase in size as it comes down.
You may zoom in to the image to appreciate the clarity of diverse patterns chiselled on each ringlet. Each Dashavatara deity is hung with a chain-forming two separate layers (short and long) of five hangings each.
Dashavatara deities are the divine ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu who descended in various forms and in various yugas for the sole purpose of defeating evils to flourish mankind. The sculptor has creatively carved these Dashavataras in their iconic postures, each standing on blooming lotus pedestals and arched in a stylized prabhavali decorated with coiled traditional patterns at the top.

Its beauty is further incurred when it produces sweet clinging sounds as the wind sways.

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. You can also buy Ritual paraphernalia (Wicks lamp, Puja Kalash, Cymbals, and Puja Flag) on the website. 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.
