About Custom Panchaloha & Bronze Sculptures
What Drives Us
Making these sculptures is more than just work for us. It’s a way to connect with something bigger, something sacred. Every piece comes alive with the songs we sing in the workshop, like Naagam padameduththaadida ve Nagakaliamma vaarumamma (inviting the goddess to bless the space). That devotion is what you’ll feel in every curve and detail.
Our Roots: Chola Tradition
We’re traditional artisans from Swamimalai, Tamil Nadu. This isn’t just a style - it’s a thousand-year-old legacy. The art of Swamimalai bronze idol making is in our blood, and we’re proud to keep it going.
How We Create Your Deity
- We start with a wax model, shaping every detail by hand. You get to see and approve this stage before we move ahead.
- Choose your metal: Panchaloha (the sacred five-metal alloy, perfect for temple statues) or classic bronze.
- Using lost-wax casting for Hindu deities, we pour molten metal, then spend hours chiseling and polishing until the icon shines with divine grace.
What We Offer
- We craft almost any Hindu deity - from Shiva Parivaram to Ugra Narasimha, Kamakshi, and more.
- Sizes range from 8-inch idols for your altar to 3.5-foot statues for temple sanctums.
- Finishes include polished bronze, antique, or green oxide patina.

My Story
We are from Kumbakonam, land of Cholas, and for us, Swamimalai bronze icons are not just work - it's our way of holding on to our roots. You’ll hear us chanting, sometimes, 'Bhaktharukku bhakthi vilakku, Samayapurathu sakthi vilakku.' This is our spiritual calling, not just business. Each piece is slow-made, with devotion and hands that respect tradition. Hope you feel that divinity in our art.
