Made from Panchaloha – The Sacred Five-Metal Alloy

This statue is made from authentic Panchaloha – a traditional sacred alloy of copper, brass, and lead with a pinch of gold and silver added. This five-metal combination has been used for centuries in South Indian temples because it attracts divine energy and creates powerful spiritual vibrations. The addition of gold and silver, even in small amounts, makes these statues more valuable and spiritually significant than regular brass statues.
