As the extension of Lord Brahma's creative powers, born from his mind, Kamadeva in Hindu philosophy is the god of Kama- which is at the root of all creative actions. He along with his Shakti- Rati, who emerged from Prajapati as the consort of Kama, activate within all living beings the desire that leads one to activities, the result of which is the entire Srishti of Brahma.


The life-affirming togetherness of Kama and Rati is celebrated artistically in this Panchaloha bronze, which is infused with the beauty of the riveting movements of the duo.


Placing his body weight on one foot, Kamadeva holds his Ikshudanda (sugarcane) in one hand while his other hand warmly embraces Rati, whose body is wrapped around her beloved like a serpent on a sandalwood tree.


Mesmeric to behold, this bronze Kamadeva and Rati statue instills a sense of delight and pleasure in the imagination, which is the origin of all life forms.

The Divine Embrace of Love: A Panchaloha Bronze Masterpiece

This exquisite bronze sculpture captures the divine essence of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, desire, and lust, in a tender embrace with his consort, Rati, the goddess of passion and carnal desire. Crafted using the ancient Madhuchista Vidhana, or lost-wax casting technique, by master artisans from Swamimalai, this masterpiece is a testament to centuries of skilled craftsmanship. The Panchaloha alloy, a sacred fusion of five metals – gold, silver, copper, tin, and iron – imbues the sculpture with a unique, enduring brilliance and a profound spiritual significance. ––––––––––––––––––

Echoes of Mythology and Desire

In Hindu mythology, Kamadeva is a celestial being who wields a bow made of sugarcane and arrows tipped with intoxicating flowers. His mission is to stir emotions of love and affection in the hearts of mortals and gods alike. Rati, his devoted wife, personifies the sensual pleasures and passionate affections that love brings. Together, they represent the harmonious balance of romance and desire, the forces that drive creation and sustain relationships. This sculpture vividly portrays their intimate connection, with Kamadeva cradling Rati, their faces turned towards each other in a moment of profound tenderness and longing. Rati, depicted in Kamadeva's arms, holds a delicate floral offering, a symbol of the sweetness and beauty of love. Kamadeva, with a stalk of sugarcane in his hand, signifies his potent ability to evoke passion. ––––––––––––––––––

Artistry in Panchaloha Bronze

The choice of Panchaloha bronze is particularly significant. This alloy is not merely a material but a sacred compound revered in Indian traditions for its auspicious qualities and durability. The lost-wax casting method, perfected over millennia, allows for the creation of intricately detailed forms. Each element of this sculpture, from the flowing drapery to the finely etched facial features and the symbolic accoutrements, is rendered with breathtaking precision. The patina, a natural oxidation that occurs over time, lends a rich, antique character to the bronze, hinting at the timeless nature of the love it represents. This piece is more than just a decorative object; it is a conduit to the divine, a celebration of love's eternal power, and a tangible connection to India's rich artistic and spiritual heritage.
