A superfine Saraswati murti, sculpted from panchaloha. Panchaloha is a unique bronze made of five (‘pancha’) different iron-based (‘loha’) alloys. The metal casting method used to work with it is called madhuchista vidhana, an Agamic term for a technique that is now known as the lost wax method. This Saraswati Mata murti depicts Her in lalitasana on a narrow-cut lotus-petal throne. Her limbs are long and slender, the pleats of Her dhoti gathered realistically over those. The rest of Her is in perfect symmetry with Her veena, the signature musical instrument of the Saraswati idol - a lissome beauty, from which pours forth a musical grace. From the characteristic metallic color with overtones of coppery green to the sheer wealth of detail in this Saraswati sculpture’s form and shringar, this Saraswati Puja murti bears all the hallmarks of authentic Swamimalai workmanship. Zoom in on the richly engraved crown and the expressive composure of countenance to appreciate the same.
