Behold the cosmic majesty of Ashtabhujadhari Lord Ganesha, also revered as the Taruna Ganapati. This statue is shaped through Madhuchista Vidhana in the revered Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai. With eight arms symbolizing cosmic power, Lord Ganesha stands as the divine orchestrator of the universe. Taruna Ganapati, "the Youthful," is revered as the remover of obstacles and provider of good luck. Here, Lord Ganesha sits in Lalit Asana pose, signifying his regal stature.
While his right-hand carries a broken tusk, an elephant goad, a sugarcane stalk, and a rose apple fruit, his left hand holds a noose, his favorite Modak (dumpling), a wood apple fruit, and a sprig of paddy. This statue with the green patina tint brings an antique look to it. As you immerse yourself in the intricacies of this sculpture, feel the cosmic energies flow through each gesture, inviting a profound connection with the omnipotent Ashtabhujadhari.
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.
