25" Bhagawan Ganesha Statue | Handmade | Madhuchista Vidhana (Lost-Wax) | Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai
One of the most popular and revered gods in the Hindu pantheon is Ganesha. The Sculpture wonderfully depicts Lord Ganesha in a mesmerising form sitting on a pedestal podium which is encircled with a throne. The trunk of the Lord Ganesha represents the Wisdom and his trunk represents “Om” (the sound symbol of the cosmic reality). Ganpati’s big belly signifies that he holds the entire universe cautiously in his belly. He clutches a goad in his upper right hand to push mankind on the path of wisdom and success and the Upper left hand clutches a noose to remove obstacles. Ganesha is seen holding like a pen, the tusk broken in writing the heroic epic “Mahabharata” in the lower right hand. The laddu in his left hand represents material gain and prosperity.
Made from Panchaloha Bronze, this divine work of art embodies the kindness and wisdom of Lord Ganesha. The sculpture emits a celestial aura, giving blessings and protection onto its beholders with its warm golden tone and silky texture.
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.
