This exquisite set of Panchaloha bronze statues celebrates the revered Nalvars - the four foremost Saiva saints: Thirugnana Sambandar, Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), Sundarar, and Manikkavasagar. Crafted in a polished gold finish, each statue captures the unique presence and spiritual fervor of these saints, who played an instrumental role in preserving and promoting Saivism in Tamil Nadu during the 6th to 9th centuries.
Thirugnana Sambandar is shown with an aura of divine wisdom, symbolizing the blessed milk of knowledge he received from Lord Shiva. Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), the humble servant of Shiva, is depicted in the Abhaya mudra, embodying peace and protection. Sundarar stands with his palms together in namaste, a gesture of reverence and humility toward his divine master. Manikkavasagar, the ascetic prime minister, holds the lotus and is depicted in meditation, emphasizing his yogic wisdom and devotion.
These statues serve as a powerful reminder of the Nalvars' teachings of love and devotion as the true path to reaching Shiva, the Supreme Being. Ideal for worship spaces or as a spiritual centerpiece, this set embodies the legacy of these revered saints who are celebrated annually during the Arupathu Moovar Thiruvila festival at the Kapaleeswarar Temple in Chennai.
Lost Wax Method: This sculpture is a one of a kind, lost wax method bronze statue hand made by the artists of South India. The sculpture pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this! Each bronze is hand made by a group of bronze artists whose families have been crafting bronze sculptures for centuries with the art being passed on by each generation. The hand crafted bronzes statues have an incredible amount of detail which many other mass produced, brass Hindu statues lack. Lost Wax South Indian bronze statues are the only sculptures used by Hindu temples throughout India and the world. Click here to learn more about the Lost Wax Method.
About the Golden Polish: This bronze sculpture has been polished after casting giving it a golden shine. Polished bronze murtis are often used in temples. Temples prefer the polished bronze because the rituals involved in puja often involve bathing the bronze deity, abisheka, which naturally removes the bronze patina of an older piece. Over time and with no periodic care the golden polish will naturally dull to form a dark patina that is naturally found on aged bronze.

Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece.
All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the bronze statue.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
