Description
This Bronze statue of Lord Perumal with Sridevi and Bhudevi, Garuda and Hanuman ji is an exquisite masterpiece, crafted using the “Lost Wax Method” of Indian casting known as Madhuchishtavidhana.
Lord Perumal stands with Bhudevi on his right and sridevi on his left, adorned with intricately carved jewelry and a beautifully crafted dhoti. The artist has paid meticulous attention to detail, capturing every aspect of Lord Perumal’s form. From his four arms holding Chakra and shankh to the folds of his clothes. This statue is a truly perfect example of artistic skill and enthusiasm for their craft.
The bronze casting of Sridevi and Bhudevi is just as impressive as Lord Perumal’s statue, with equal attention given to every detail. From their clothing to their jewelry and facial expressions, everything has been crafted beautifully. Bhudevi’s right hand is in Kataka hasta pose, and her left hand holds a lotus flower with thumb and fingers, while Sridevi’s idol has the opposite hand positioning.
The artist has taken great care in capturing each detail of the two goddesses, making the statues truly stunning. Even the skin folds of Sridevi and Bhudevi’s belly have been realistically portrayed. Bhudevi’s statue features a cloth wrapped around her breasts, while Sridevi’s does not. The artist’s skill is evident in every aspect of this remarkable statue. The three statues are adorned by a stunningly crafted Prabhavali, featuring a Kirtimukha at its center, which enhances the elegance of the entire sculpture.
In addition, there are depictions of Lord Hanuman and Garuda ji, both kneeling with folded hands in reverence of Lord Perumal, Sridevi, and Bhudevi. Garuda is depicted with wings, while Hanuman ji holds a Gadda (mace), and their jewelry and intricate details are exquisitely crafted. All in all, this South Indian sculpture of Lord Perumal with his consorts is truly a masterpiece.
