Chola period statue making | Panchaloha statue | Lost wax bronze metal casting | Kumbakonam

Panchaloha idols are traditional Hindu idols made of an alloy of five metals - gold, silver, copper, iron, and zinc. The term 'panchaloha' is derived from the Sanskrit words 'pancha' meaning five and 'loh' meaning metal.
Although bronze casting has a long history in India, mastery of this technique scaled new heights of excellence during the rule of the Chola dynasty, one of the longest ruling dynasties in the history of Southern India (c. 850 CE - 1250 CE). In the Chola period, bronze sculptures of religious Hindu deities were created as movable alternatives to the immovable stone sculptures in the inner sanctum, as they could be carried outside the temple for daily rituals, processions, and temple festivals. Nataraja is one of the most common subjects depicted in Chola bronzes.
