After subduing and purifying Kaliya, Krishna purified Yamuna. The Yamuna water became poisonous due to vociferous serpent Kalia whose deporting from the Yamuna has the most vital spiritual significance.
The present-day kaliyas troubling genuine peace-loving, religious, hard-working people by infecting their nasty nature and other immoral deeds may gain a certain degree of initial success in their wicked mission, but ultimately they have to surrender before a Krishna.
Even today, all the rivers in India are getting contaminated with pollution. Such kaliyas have to be identified, stringent measures & proper right steps (Krishnas) must be taken to protect river-waters and the water bodies.
Attractively sculptured in Panchaloha bronze & erected on an alluring lotus petal podium, carved with eye-catching floral designs, Bal-Krishna is depicted as holding the tail of serpent Kalia by his left hand, the right hand in Abhaya-mudra (don’t fear blessings) enjoying dancing, bouncing & jumping on kaliya’s thousand hoods. Crushed by Krishna, the snake is injured, blood started flowing from his body. The Kalia’s frontal, entire hoods, the long tail have exceptionally been carved.
Attired & adorned with his majestic costumes and bejeweled with rich ornaments like kanthamalas, bracelets, armlets, and astonishing crown head on forehead. Bal Krishna's beauty is unmentionably awesome. There is another lesson being taught by Krishna. He did not kill kaliya but killed the envy, hatred, and anger inside him. Therefore, let’s follow the Krishna association at first and if it too fails, then the other stringent measures of punishing the culprits are open. ‘ quality is not expensive, it’s priceless’ is appropriate for this exotic artifact.
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.

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.
