With the practice of this endemic art running across generations of artisan families, the most perfect of bronze sculptures are to be found in Swamimalai. There is so much to the medium of bronze itself: an elite and artistic whiff, a stately appeal, and a potential for art that has been exploited for centuries in India but is yet unexhausted. In this one-of-a-kind illustration of Oriental bronzework, Lord Ganesha, the most widely loved of Goddess Parvati's offspring in the subcontinent, breaks into a divine dance ritual. Such is the life infused in this sculpture by masterful artisans of the South that the boy-God seems about to break away from the painstakingly carved pedestal.
