This bronze statue of Nritya-Ganapati represents Ganesha's triumph over Adi-Shesha as described in the Ganesha Purana.


Ganesha uses the serpent's hood to support his giant body. With a small bend of his head and a lively glance that gives the scenario vitality, his hand reaches out to tug the serpent's tail, whose scales are naturalistically delineated, giving the metal an elastic appearance.


On the reverse, Ganesha's leg muscles, waistcloth swing, and torso bend all point to a paused plummet, as though Ganapati had just landed on the snake's head.


Beatified by Panchaloha's inherent beauty, the icon has an antique aura, that enhances the appeal of the ancient sacred legend infused in every inch of this metal art.

The Auspicious Beginning

Behold a captivating depiction of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the embodiment of wisdom, joyously dancing upon the hood of a majestic serpent. This exquisite statue, meticulously crafted using the ancient Madhuchista Vidhana (lost-wax) technique, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Swamimalai. The statue is made from Panchaloha, a sacred alloy of five metals that enhances the statue’s spiritual power and visual appeal. Each curve and contour is rendered with remarkable detail, capturing the essence of Ganesha’s playful energy and divine grace.

Ganesha and the Serpent: A Symbolism of Triumph

Ganesha’s relationship with serpents is multi-layered in Hindu mythology. One interpretation is that the serpent represents the Kundalini energy, the dormant spiritual power that resides at the base of the spine. Ganesha's dance upon the serpent signifies his mastery over this powerful energy, demonstrating his ability to control and channel it for the benefit of his devotees. In another interpretation, the serpent represents ignorance and negativity, symbolizing Ganesha's triumph over these forces through wisdom and understanding. The serpent here is not an adversary, but a vehicle of devotion, its multiple heads suggesting the multifaceted nature of creation and the omnipresence of the divine. Further enhancing this representation is the addition of a figure in a position of respect in front of the snake.

The Timeless Art of Panchaloha and Lost-Wax Casting

This statue is more than just a beautiful object; it is a tangible piece of Indian cultural history. The Panchaloha alloy, traditionally composed of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron, is believed to possess unique spiritual properties, amplifying the power of the deity it represents. The Madhuchista Vidhana, or lost-wax casting method, is an intricate process passed down through generations of artisans. A wax model is carefully sculpted, then coated in clay. The wax is melted away, leaving a mold into which the molten Panchaloha is poured. Once cooled, the clay mold is broken, revealing the magnificent bronze sculpture. Each piece is thus unique, carrying the imprint of the artisan's skill and devotion.

A Divine Presence for Your Home or Sacred Space

This statue brings the ancient symbolism of Ganesha and the serpent to life, creating a focal point of spirituality and timeless artistry wherever it is placed.
