To the Dravidians, Perumal is the same deity that in the North of the subcontinent is widely known as Vishnu. He is the presiding deity over preservation, and is complemented by His two wives, Shreedevi and Bhoodevi (divine vectors of Devi Lakshmi). The Perumal murti that you see on this page depicts the Lord standing between His two beautiful wives.

This ensemble is made of panchaloha, a kind of bronze made from five (‘pancha’) different iron-based (‘loha’) alloys. Lord Perumal and His two wives are standing on upturned-lotus pedestals. A pair of high, engraved pillars rise behind the central figure, which support a perfectly circular prabhavali featuring Kirtimukham at the zenith. This structure conforms to the unique aesthetic of traditional South Indian temple architecture.

Note the resplendent metallic colour finish of this Perumal murti with His wives. It comes from the medium of panchaloha, which is cast using madhuchista vidhana, a complex lost-wax metalcasting technique expounded in the Agamas.

A Divine Ensemble: Lord Vishnu and His Consorts

This exquisite bronze sculpture depicts Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe in Hindu cosmology, flanked by his divine consorts. Lord Vishnu, often visualized as the Supreme Being, is shown in his benevolent form, radiating serenity and divine grace. His presence is commanding, embodying the cosmic order and the balance he maintains. The intricate details of his attire and the serene expression on his face speak volumes of his eternal divine essence.

The Divine Companionship

To Vishnu's right stands Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune, and to his left, Bhudevi, the Earth Goddess, symbolizing fertility and sustenance. Their presence alongside Vishnu signifies the harmonious union of cosmic forces – wealth and sustenance being essential for the well-being of all creation, which Vishnu safeguards. Lakshmi, with her gentle demeanor and symbolic adornments, represents abundance and auspiciousness. Bhudevi, grounded and nurturing, embodies the fertile earth that supports life. Together, they form a powerful triad, representing the complete spectrum of divine blessings and the foundation of life itself.

Crafted Through Ancient Traditions

This masterpiece is brought to life using the ancient and revered Madhuchista Vidhana, or lost-wax casting technique, a method that has been perfected over centuries by master artisans. The material used is Panchaloha, a sacred alloy of five metals – gold, silver, copper, tin, and iron – believed to possess auspicious properties and enhance the spiritual vibrations of the idols. Each element of the sculpture, from the stylized halos and ornate pedestals to the flowing garments and serene faces, has been meticulously shaped. The patina achieved through this process gives the bronze a timeless allure, hinting at the many ages and stories this piece has witnessed. Swamimalai, in Tamil Nadu, is renowned for its legacy of bronze casting, and this sculpture is a testament to that enduring artistic heritage.

A Symbol of Faith and Artistry

This divine ensemble is more than just a decorative piece; it is a conduit of spiritual energy and a celebration of India's rich cultural and artistic legacy. It can serve as a focal point for devotion, meditation, or as a magnificent addition to any art collection, bringing with it an aura of divinity, prosperity, and cosmic harmony. The intricate craftsmanship and the profound symbolism embedded within this sculpture make it a truly exceptional representation of the divine.
