In this bronze rendition, Sankat Mochan
Hanuman, “the remover of all sorrows and hurdles”, emerges as a
celestial masterpiece. Standing tall on a lotus pedestal, Hanuman, the Son of
Vayu, is a vision of regality draped in majestic attire. The royal “Karanda Mukut” graces his noble brow,
adorned with “Kundals” (earrings)
that whisper of ancient wisdom. His divine presence is punctuated by Armbands, a sacred thread (Janeu), and a celestial “Langot”. Hanuman’s right hand extends in the “Abhaya Mudra”, bestowing fearless blessings.
Gripping his formidable “Mace (Gada)”, Hanuman, “the destroyer of all illusions”, embodies strength and
protection. This artwork, crafted
using the ancient “Madhuchista Vidhana
(Lost-Wax) technique”, echoes the profound significance of Hanuman
as the vanquisher of adversities, a beacon of courage and divine solace.
Embodiment of Devotion and Strength: Lord Hanuman
This exquisite statue captures the divine essence of Lord Hanuman, the devoted follower of Lord Rama and a symbol of immense strength, courage, and unwavering loyalty. Crafted in the traditional Panchaloha bronze alloy, this masterpiece stands as a testament to ancient Indian metallurgical artistry. The Panchaloha, a sacred five-metal composition, is believed to imbue the sculpture with auspicious qualities and a timeless aura, believed to be a blend of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron. This particular rendition showcases Hanuman in a commanding standing posture, his right hand raised in Abhaya Mudra, offering blessings and reassurance, while his left hand firmly grasps his iconic mace, the Gada, a potent symbol of his power.
––––––––––––––––––Artistry Rooted in Tradition: The Madhuchista Vidhana Technique
The creation of this statue employs the revered Madhuchista Vidhana, or the lost-wax casting technique, a method passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Originating from Swamimalai, a region renowned for its bronze casting heritage, this intricate process involves sculpting a detailed wax model, which is then encased in clay. The wax is melted out by heating, leaving a hollow cavity into which the molten Panchaloha is poured. Upon cooling, the clay mold is broken, revealing the finished bronze sculpture, a process that ensures a unique and remarkably detailed final product. The precision and patience required for this technique result in the fine detailing of Hanuman's musculature, his ornate jewelry, and the fierce yet benevolent expression that graces his divine face.

Lord Hanuman occupies a pivotal place in Hindu mythology, revered for his extraordinary feats and profound devotion. As the son of Vayu, the wind god, he possesses immense strength and the ability to fly. His unwavering dedication to Lord Rama during his exile and his heroic efforts to rescue Sita from the clutches of Ravana are legendary. He is often invoked for protection against evil, for strength in times of adversity, and for the attainment of spiritual wisdom. This statue, with its commanding presence and symbolic attributes, serves as a powerful reminder of Hanuman's divine virtues, inspiring devotees to emulate his courage, his service, and his unwavering faith. The detailed crown and the halo-like ornamentation behind his head further emphasize his divine status and the radiant power he embodies.
