A Glimpse of Devotion

This exquisitely crafted bronze statue presents Lord Hanuman, the epitome of devotion, strength, and selfless service. Standing at approximately 5.5 inches tall, this captivating representation captures the essence of Hanuman's unwavering loyalty and benevolent nature. The statue showcases Hanuman in a blessing gesture, his right hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a symbol of protection and fearlessness, bestowing blessings upon all who behold him. Notice the intricately carved details, from the lines on his palm to the delicate jewelry adorning his powerful form.

Hanuman: The Humble Hero

Hanuman, also known as Anjaneya, is a central figure in the Ramayana, the epic tale of Lord Rama. Born to Anjana, a celestial nymph, and Kesari, a powerful monkey chieftain, Hanuman inherited both divine and animalistic qualities. He is revered for his unmatched devotion to Rama, his extraordinary strength, and his unwavering commitment to dharma (righteousness). One of the most celebrated stories involving Hanuman is his journey to Lanka to find Sita, Rama's abducted wife. His leap across the ocean, his battle against the demons, and his discovery of Sita in the Ashoka Vatika are legendary. Hanuman's unwavering faith and selfless service made him an indispensable ally to Rama, and his heroic deeds continue to inspire generations.

Hoysala Art and Bronze Craftsmanship

The creation of this statue reflects the rich artistic heritage of the Hoysala dynasty, known for its intricate and detailed sculptures. While not definitively dating back to the Hoysala period, it evokes the spirit and style of the era, celebrated for its ornate temple architecture and masterful bronze casting. The use of bronze, a durable and lustrous metal, lends a timeless quality to the statue, ensuring that it will remain a treasured piece for years to come. The statue's dimensions (5.5 x 3.5 x 2.25 inches) make it a perfect addition to any altar, meditation space, or home decor, serving as a constant reminder of Hanuman's divine presence and the power of devotion.

How to Maintain Bronze Statues

Bronze statues are the jewel in the artistic crown of India and have inspired generations for ages. If you own one of them, you must care for them properly so that they continue to add charm to your space for years to come. Here are some tips you can follow -
Dust particles can corrode the statue's surface, making it look dull. That is why it is necessary that you dust the bronze idols regularly using a soft brush or a microfiber cloth.
In case you happen to spill any liquid, immediately wipe it off using a dry cloth.
Keep your bronze statues away from humidity and moisture. Place them in well-ventilated areas.
You can also maintain the shine of your Hoysala bronze ornaments by regularly retouching them with a coat of wax polish.
Make sure that you clean them once a week.

Making Process of Hoysala Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility, bronze is the most preferred metal for artisans to create sculptures. Other qualities that make it the ideal choice for creating statues is its ability to be cast easily. Aside from that, this metal allows the most intricate details to be captured by the artist.
The art of making bronze statues has been practiced in India for centuries, and evidence of it can be found in magnificent Hoysala bronze ornaments and bronze statues in South India. Of the many bronze idols produced in the country, Hoysala art statues are very famous. The hoysala style includes a depiction of embellishments and ornaments and an abundance of jewelry while making statues. It grew from the 10th to 14th centuries in the Hoysala dynasty that ruled the region, falling in present day Karnataka, hence the name of this craft. It involves intricate work, deep carving, and undercutting by artisans to create elaborate and decorative motifs.
Much time and effort goes into bringing these timeless pieces to life. It takes months to finish a single sculpture, and they are always created by casting. The most common casting type for bronze idols is the lost-wax casting technique. This is a 4000-year-old art form and requires a lot of concentration, patience, and finesse.

The first step of making bronze statues is making a model of the sculpture in clay. The artist creates an exact clay version of what he envisions to be made in bronze. He captures every little detail.

The second step involves making a mold of plasticine or silicon rubber around the clay statue. Once the mold hardens, it is separated from the clay sculpture.

After that, molten wax is poured into the mold so that a thick layer of coating is created inside the mold. This is done so that every detail of the sculpture is captured.

Once the wax hardens, the plasticine or silicon mold is removed, and a ceramic shell is created around the wax structure by dipping it in liquid slurry and silica sand.

This ceramic shell is heated upon solidification, and the wax is melted out. After that, molten bronze is poured into the mold through tubes.

Once the liquid bronze has hardened and taken the shape of the mold, the ceramic shell is removed, and the final product is checked for any imperfections.

The final step involves the application of patina onto the sculpture. This prevents corrosion and adds color to the statue. A final coat of wax is applied to preserve this and add luster.
