Embodiment of Divine Fury and Protection

This magnificent statue captures the awe-inspiring form of Lord Vishnu in his Narasimha avatar, a powerful manifestation intended to protect the innocent and vanquish evil. Narasimha, the man-lion, emerged from a pillar to tear apart the tyrannical demon Hiranyakashipu, who had a boon that rendered him impervious to man, beast, or weapon. Vishnu's fierce visage, half-man and half-lion, with sharp claws and a thundering roar, symbolizes the ultimate power that transcends all ordinary limitations. This bronze masterpiece is a testament to the skill of ancient artisans, who, using the sacred Panchaloha alloy, brought forth this divine form with intricate detail and profound spiritual resonance. The statue depicts Narasimha at the pinnacle of his power, poised within a radiant *prabhavali* (halo) that represents the cosmic circle of existence. The halo itself is a work of art, adorned with flame-like motifs and intricate patterns, evoking the fiery intensity of the divine avatar. The central figure of Narasimha is a symphony of dynamism and strength. Each of his multiple arms, extended outwards, holds various divine attributes, signifying his all-encompassing power and the myriad ways in which he safeguards his devotees. His muscular physique and fierce expression convey an unshakeable resolve against injustice.

Guardians of the Sacred Space

Flanking the base of the statue are two majestic *vyalas*, mythical leonine creatures often depicted as guardians in Indian art and architecture. These powerful beings, with their regal bearing and watchful eyes, reinforce the protective aura of Narasimha. Their presence signifies the warding off of negative energies and the establishment of a sacred, undisturbed space for devotion and contemplation. The intricate carving on the base further enhances the grandeur, showcasing elaborate patterns that speak to the rich artistic heritage from which this sculpture originates. The entire composition is a powerful visual narrative, a reminder of the eternal struggle between righteousness and unrighteousness, and the divine intervention that ensures the triumph of good. This exquisite bronze statue is not merely an object of beauty but a profound symbol of divine strength, protection, and the unwavering triumph of dharma. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship and Devotion

Crafted from the revered Panchaloha, a sacred alloy of five metals traditionally used in Hindu iconography, this statue possesses an intrinsic spiritual quality. The meticulous casting and finishing process imbues the bronze with a lustrous sheen and a remarkable sense of presence. The lifelike rendering of Narasimha's form, from the sharp claws to the flowing mane, is a testament to the deep understanding of anatomy and artistic expression held by the craftsmen. The sheer scale and detail of the piece make it a commanding presence in any setting, inviting meditation and reverence. It is a direct connection to ancient traditions of divine artistry, where each creation was imbued with purpose and spiritual significance.

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.

Sculpting Dreams in Metal: The Enigmatic Alchemy of Panchaloha Bronze Masterpieces

Bronze statues and sculptures are known for their exquisite beauty and the divinity that they emit all around the space. Bronze is considered an excellent metal alloy, composed primarily of copper and tin. Many properties make it suitable for sculpting even the most intricate and complex structures. There was a period in history, known as the “Bronze Age'', in which most sculptors preferred to work with Bronze as it was considered the hardest metal. Bronze is especially appreciated for its durability, ductility, and corrosion-resistance properties. India is especially known for its elegant workmanship of skills working with Bronze. The artisans of a town named Swamimalai in South India have been following a tradition of bronze murti making for ages. They use a special material known as Panchaloha bronze to make fascinating icons of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. All of us are allured by the beauty of bronze statues and sculptures but there goes a tough hand in casting those masterpieces with little or no imperfections. Since it is an extremely elaborate process, a sculptor needs to be highly skilled in making bronze antiques. The most common technique for casting bronze sculptures that has been followed since ancient times is the “Lost-wax” process which involves many steps:

1. Clay model making

The making of a bronze statue or sculpture starts with preparing a full-sized clay (usually Plasticine) model of the sculpture. This allows the artist to have an idea about the overall shape and form of the desired sculpture before working with bronze, a much more expensive and difficult-to-work-with material.

2. Mould making

Once the clay model is ready, a mould of the original sculpture is made. This is done by carefully covering the clay model with plaster strips. This step is carried out in such a way that no air bubbles are formed. It takes up to 24 hours for the plaster to dry. Once dried, the plaster is then gently removed from the clay model. The removal happens easily because the inner mould is usually made of materials such as polyurethane rubber or silicone.

3. Wax filling and removal

In this step, molten bronze or wax is poured or filled into the mould in such a way that it gets even into the finest details. The mould is then turned upside down and left to cool and harden. When the wax has hardened, it is removed from the mould.

4. Chasing

Chasing is the process in which the artist refines the surface of the bronze statue using various tools to achieve fine details. This smoothens the surface and gives the statue a finished look. If some parts of the statue were moulded separately, they are now heated and attached.

5. Applying a patina

Bronze sculptures are known for their unique look or sheen on the surface. This may take several years to achieve naturally. Applying patina to bronze sculptures is an important step to make them appear attractive. Working with clay, plaster mould, and molten wax can be messy and therefore sculptors wear old clothes and remain careful. The entire process of making a bronze statue takes several months to complete. Bronze sculptures last for many centuries because of the high durability of the material. Many centuries down the line, these sculptures continue to be appreciated for their majestic beauty.
