A Timeless Offering

Behold a radiant manifestation of prosperity and auspiciousness, captured in this exquisite bronze statue. This handcrafted figure evokes the divine presence of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, love, and beauty. More than just a decorative piece, this statue is a symbol of the abundance and grace that Lakshmi bestows upon her devotees. Imagine this elegant form gracing your altar or adding a touch of serenity to your living space. The meticulously detailed carving and the warm glow of the bronze evoke a sense of tranquility and timeless beauty. It is a potent reminder of the blessings we seek and the potential for prosperity that resides within us all.

The Art of Hoysala

The distinct style of the Hoysala dynasty, rulers of present-day Karnataka, India, between the 11th and 14th centuries, is celebrated for its intricate carvings and sophisticated artistry. Hoysala temples are renowned for their detailed sculptures of deities, dancers, musicians, and scenes from everyday life. This statue pays homage to that rich heritage, showcasing the unique blend of aesthetic and devotional artistry that defines the Hoysala style. Note the elaborate adornments and fine details that have been painstakingly rendered, reflecting a dedication to artistry.

Lakshmi: More Than a Goddess

Lakshmi is not merely a deity to be worshipped, but a principle to be embraced. Her presence signifies not just material wealth, but also spiritual well-being, prosperity of mind, and richness of relationships. Stories about Lakshmi abound in Hindu mythology, often portraying her as the consort of Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. Together, they represent the ideal balance of power and grace, creation and preservation. She is often depicted with gold flowing from her hands, symbolizing prosperity, with elephants, symbolizing royalty and hard work and often with owls, symbolizing the ability to see through the dark and find success. In this particular depiction, Lakshmi is holding a 'deepa,' or lamp, signifying her role as the dispeller of darkness and ignorance, illuminating the path to knowledge and prosperity. This makes this bronze statue a particularly auspicious addition to any home, not only representing wealth and beauty, but also the light of wisdom and understanding.

Crafted with Reverence

This magnificent piece is created from bronze, using the traditional lost-wax casting method, known as "Panchaloha" where it uses an alloy of five metals, revered for their purity and auspiciousness. Each statue is the result of a meticulous process involving skilled artisans who have inherited their craft through generations. The creation of such a piece is considered an act of devotion in itself, imbuing the final product with a spiritual energy that resonates with its owner. This process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, adding to the uniqueness and value of each statue.

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.
